From Railroad to Foot Bridge



The historic Union Street Railroad Bridge, built in 1913 across the Willamette River, is being converted into a pathway for bicycle, pedestrians, and wheelchair users. It will connect two large parks and their trail systems-Riverfront Park on the east bank and Wallace Marine Park on the west.

Construction started in March 2008. Friends of Two Bridges reports that it will be open by April 4th.

Love the two shots. Well done! Sounds like a g reat place to walk if the bikers don't run you into the river.

Great idea. We have a couple of old train bridges converted like that. Wonderful vantage points.

It's a good looking bridge..great that it's being converted instead of being demolished..

The 1st shot is amazing! The perspective and amount of 'organized' metal is just great!

These are two very interesting photos. The first one leaves you confused and wondering what the heck you can do about it. The second brings it all together like music resolving the tension with a major chord.
