Love doing sessions on Broadway

Just a bridge

Beautiful views

Its one of the bridges that have trains going across it as well as traffic. Its definitely a sight to see.

Another great place to view portland city and water I love coming here to watch and enjoy sunsets right in the middle of the bridge.

Dont ever try to go fishing here you might catch aids instead of fish. There are hidden needles all over the place.

Under construction

Great place to take photos with friends and family

AMAZING

Great historical site

Ancient artifact

This device lets cars, trucks, light rail trains, bikes, and pedestrians travel over the river without anyone getting wet! Unless it is raining. While all this magic is happening, small boats can travel the river unimpeded. But wait, theres more! If a really tall boat comes along, the Broadway Bridge can dodge the boat (like Neo dodging bullets in the Matrix) by OPENING UP! I just dont know WHAT they will think of next!

The design of this bridge is amazing

One of my favorite bridges

Was not aware that this was a tourist attraction but after the sun started setting I could see why. Nice breeze, lots to see & the color changes were incredible. Planning on a return before heading out of town.

Old bridge connection in Portland OR between south and north

I got stuck on it for like 10 minutes the bridge went up for what normally is boats to go through. The bridge is already very high up and most boats can fit under without messing with traffic. I got out of my car and didnt see any boats btw. So idk why it went up exactly. I was running late to work today and it made me even more late.

Loved our walk from Moda Center back to our hotel across this bridge after the Fleetwood Mac concert.

Bridge Town & Beautiful

The architecture of this bridge is pretty outstanding and beautiful. I dont know what it is about bridges but this is probably one of the prettier ones in Portland. It is short enough that sometimes you get caught up with a boat having to pass through, so sometimes you might get stuck, but oh well, its a bridge, it happens! Take a drive over next time you are in town!

Weird that a bridge can be reviewed and rated. Its an attractive piece of infrastructure. And Broadway bridge is particularly attractive offering one of the best vistas of the Portland riverside

Im not sure how to rate a bridge. Its beautiful. The views are beautiful. Ive never fallen off of it. Sometimes cyclists ride right up behind me when Im walking and they dont say a word thats uncomfortable. And finding it in your car can be hard if youre not on Broadway.

Great for biking or walking across!

PDX bridges, simply amazing!!

Beautiful view always although early mornings its hard to walk across, especially with my dog, because of all the bicyclists.

Has all the features of a bridge, you will NOT be disappointed, and I guarantee it.

Its a bridge, walk, bike, ride a car, a bus, a train or a streetcar. And you get across. And boats, ships and lots of water go under it.

One time my friend drunkenly road his bike off this while the bridge was up. Great story.

I LOVE our bridges~ however this one COULD have SOOOO much more going for it. The AMAZING architecture of the bridge is lost with its DRAB, BORING, UGLY same ol color painted over and over. COME ON PEOPLE!!! Wouldnt it be FABULOUS to see & feel some Nostalgic colors and pictures, something that ACTUALLY represents PORTLAND!? Something that makes visitors go home & talk about how BEAUTIFUL even our bridges are?!!? Something fun~ even Roses would be better than what we have to be bored to death by!!

Historic landmark in the PDX, run, drive, or bike across, dont miss the view

Beautiful view of the bridges, water, buildings, trains, traffic and people. Take a date, kids, moms, dads, grandpas, grandmas, nieces, nephews, freinds or go solo. During the night there will be less interuption but during the day you can see more of the city life. A peaceful place to gather ones thoughts while to appreciating nature and industry. Another cool thing is that it is one of Portlands draw bridges so if youre lucky enough to get stuck while a large ship is coming you will be lifted into the sky. Just dont jump. Thats a bad time for everyone. Mkay.

How do you rate a bridge. I love the Broadway when Im driving over it, looking at the art inspired by it or viewing it from a distance. From below it is such a different experience. The first surprise is how high above the ground it is. The wind can be a second surprise. I expected to feel sheltered. It is a bit of a shame more has not been done with the ground below. Seems to me another park could be had with a little effort.

Not the best bridge in Portland but a good one. I have yet to break it by driving on it. Would recommend.

Highly underrated bascule bridge. Very low traffic. Would bike over it again 10/10.

Looks great at night

Great veiw

I’ve never actually walked across this one, given 4 stars for that style, B-

Smart place to centralise a relay race, also an innovative method of crossing the river. Everybody just loves the Pearl.

Nice boat launch and no parking fees

Lets see, what can you say about a bridge. This one has historical content and is old school. Its been a prop in a few movies and TV shows.

A lovely view of the city from here.

My route to and from work.

Its painted

Very clean and accessible.

Complete with streetcar, vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians, this is another Portland bridge that has evolved to handle a variety of uses. Set higher then many of the other bridges (see Hawthorne, Steel, Morrison, Burnside) the views from it can do a vista viewer good. The red frame of the bridge also sets it apart, making it look more cheerful to me (obviously a matter of perception). If you research quickly one will also find it now dates to over a 100 years of use, so give the bridge some props for looking so nice after all these years of hard work.

A very unique bridge. I like the color.

Great BIKE ROUTE, also great pedestrian foot path along Hiway, separated and safe.

8 out of 8. Holds up a road over the water! Does its job!

Easy walk across the mighty Willamette. Great views.

Needs a bit of upkeep, but better than the average road in Portland right now. This is a large bridge, easy to drive, lots of sidewalk and great city views off either side.

The walk was nice but it was junkie. Garbage was a mess!! Traffic was speeding way to fast. View was awesome looking over water but all around evalation? I would skip the whole deal.

One of the top three bridges in Portland. This bridge is beautiful, and very useful for cars, streetcars and bikes. A wide sidewalk on each side gives a nice place to watch the rive or ride over it. Walking under it is just as studding as being on top of it.

Good architecture and a spacious affibility for traveling. It opens into the city giving a beautiful bike for from downtown SE to the Pearl District; connecting easily with the Steel Bridge as an alternative route. The mechanics of the bridge are well thought and extraordinary, if you are lucky enough to see them! The fast moving crowd could use a more elaborate marking system, especially being so close to the Rose Quarter. I think it may be another nod to the heart of the city.

One of the links between Oregon and Washington State(?)

As bridges go, its great. Held me up out of the water just fine. (why is Google asking me for a review of a bridge?!?)

I love crossing this bridge on my bike (from the east side heading downtown). It has a really smooth bike lane and very gentle slope to bring you to downtown Portland.

It take you from one side to the other

Often an escape to traffic snarls, has MAX. Nice view.

Best Bridge to see all the River action at the River Grain Mills.

An amazing view on nw Portland and the waterfront

Great to ride and or walk over with stunning views of downtown or north to the Fremont Bridge. Be careful you dont obstruct the pathway or bowl over any cyclists!

One of the last hold overs from Old Town. It used to be the sketchy party of downtown.

Im afraid of heights n walk

Construction again, had to wait a while to cross

One of the very many bridges in PDX. Tourists should at least try to bike over it to get some great views.

Fantastic time at a fave part of Portland, the river.

Food vantage point to see Portland and fireworks at times

This bridge is awesome with two or three lanes and the steel is red.

Beautiful view of Portland, go at dusk.

Airy and walkable

Have to give this bridge 5 stars mainly because i t was used in the film Foxfire with Angelina Jolie. Several parts of that movie were times here in Portland.

My fondest memories are crossing this bridge it has the most beautiful views when the sun sets And rising aint too bad either

Very dense but 1911 was a good year, so three stars.

One of my faves!

Once the street car line is finished this will be a busy bridge. I do like the monster stairs on the West side.

People liveing under it noone judgeing nice place

Love this bridge, cant wait until the construction is finished.

Hasnt failed yet

Great views of the steel bridge from here.

Always interesting views on the road Broadway Bridge

Ever since I moved to N/NE Portland 5 years ago, Ive been a pretty big fan of Broadway bridge. I like its red color scheme in contrast to all the other bridges. Its pretty nice to walk/ride a bike across, although if youre a cyclist, be wary at the bike light when you get to Lovejoy. Ive seen too many people run the No Right Turn on Red sign & too many close calls to cruise through without looking just because the bike light is green. As a car driver, its nice to cross the river and be able to choose from Lovejoy going to NW & Broadway to go downtown. One warning: recent streetcar construction & traffic issues leave Broadway a bit of a mess. Hopefully it will all be over soon!

Great view over the river, perfect spot to take pictures

Good Bridge.

Its ok. Not the prettiest bridge in pdx. Stair areas are a little sketchy due to transients.

Iconic bridge.

Good view of river

Helps you cross the river
