Sellwood Bridge

The Sellwood Bridge is a truss bridge that spans the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. It was Portland's first fixed-span bridge and, being the only river crossing for miles in each direction, is the busiest two-lane bridge in Oregon. It links the Sellwood and Westmoreland neighborhoods of Portland on the east side with Oregon Route 43/Macadam Avenue on the west side. At its east end it leads to Tacoma Street. The bridge is owned and operated by Multnomah County. The bridge's condition has been deteriorating for some years, and in the mid-2000s this led to a decision to replace it. A multi-year project to construct a replacement bridge has been under way since December 2011, and the new bridge is projected to open in spring 2016.
