Hawthorne Bridge
Hawthorne Bridge is a vertical-lift drawbridge spanning the
Willamette River in
Portland, Oregon. Finished in
1910, the Hawthorne is perhaps the prettiest of the
bridges spanning the Willamette in the Portland area and frequently appears on postcards and photos featuring the downtown slyline.
The bridge went through an extensive rennovation in 2001-2002. It has good bike paths that serve as a major route for cyclists that commute into downtown from the east side of Portland.
