Get in and around

Get in

• 1 Portland Union Station, 800 NW 6th Ave. Amtrak serves Portland Union Station, which is about a 15-minute walk from most places downtown. Union Station is well connected by public transit. It sits on the northern end of the transit mall, so many Trimet buses as well as the MAX Yellow and Green Lines stop nearby. Union Station is also across the street from the Greyhound depot.

• Imperial Garage

Bridges

• 2 Broadway Bridge, N/NW Broadway across the Willamette River. Built in 1913, this is the largest example of a Rall-type bascule bridge ever constructed, and one of only three such designs still existing in the United States. NRHP #12000930.  
• 3 Interstate Bridge, Northbound lanes of Interstate 5 across the Columbia River. This vertical-lift bridge consists of twin parallel spans. The eastern span, completed in 1917, was only the second highway bridge across the Columbia and marked a significant engineering achievement for its time. The western span and the vertical draw on the eastern span were added in 1958. Both spans have pedestrian access as well as Interstate highway traffic. However, the bridge is overcapacity, outdated, and seismically unsafe, and will almost certainly be removed when Oregon and Washington finally agree on a plan to replace it. Vancouver–Portland Bridge, NRHP #82004205.
