Portland Bridges

What I really love about Portland, among the many things to love here, are the bridges. Portland has a lot of them, and each one has its own character. All the bridges, except for the Interstate bridges, cross the Willamette River, which separates the east side of the city from the westside. Downtown is on the west side. There are bike paths along the Willamette River on both east and west side.

Walking along the river gives one a sense of closeness to this great river and its spans.

This walkway is popular on weekends. Families on bikes have an easy journey because most of the travel is along the riverside, which is pretty flat.
