MODS Note
  • "The oldest remaining trans-Willamette River bridge in Portland, Oregon, the Hawthorne Bridge was built between 1909 and 1910 and opened to traffic on December 19, 1910. Spanning the Willamette River at River Mile 13.1 in downtown Portland, it is situated just upstream from the Morrison Bridge, within the core of the central commercial district of the city. A steel through-truss with a vertical-lift section, the Hawthorne Bridge measures 1,169.89 feet long, not including the approach spans. Its 205'-10 " vertical-lift section was the longest built at that time, and the bridge is the oldest example of vertical-lift bridge technology in the United States. The bridge was designed by the notable engineering firm of Waddell & Harrington. The Hawthorne Bridge, retains substantial integrity with respect to its original design and construction, and under the ownership of Multnomah County has been expertly maintained and modified."
