description

Summary

Significance: Site constraints forced Multnomah County and the Oregon State Highway Commission to select a skewed reinforced-concrete deck girder span for this location. The span's angled bents and its tall and thick parapet walls, which function as elastic beams, make it an atypical structure on the Historic Columbia River Highway.
