Interstate Bridge Fact of the Day: ⛴️ Before the bridge opened in 1917, the only way to get across the river by car between Oregon and Washington was via ferry. Learn more about this historic and aging bridge in this @OregonDOT video: youtube.com/watch?v=j0wGM-7m…

Bridge lifts have always stopped traffic on the Interstate Bridge. The new fixed-span Interstate Bridge will eliminate bridge lifts, allowing vehicles and transit to operate unimpeded while also continuing to serve river users.
