SUMMARY:5 Bridge Tour
CONTACT:Patagonia Portland
DESCRIPTION:Patagonia Tour De Bridges\n\nIn Portland Oregon there are a 
 total of 37 vehicle and pedestrian bridges. The Patagonia Tour De Bridges 
 is a unique opportunity to explore different areas of Portland and avenues
  for biking\, while getting to either cross or see some of the bridges. 
 Building off the rides hosted last year by Nathan Khalsa\, who mapped out 
 the Sellwood Bridge Tour (formerly River Romp)\, the rides this year seek 
 to offer more opportunities for seeing the city and for different levels 
 of biking and endurance. We are excited to share these rides with you and 
 the contributions from the friends who helped create these.\n\nWhat to 
 Expect:\n\nStarting off at the store we will depart and head onto 
 Hawthorne Bridge (1) and go over the bridge.\n\nThe Hawthorne Bridge is a 
 truss bridge with a vertical lift and is one the oldest vertical-lift 
 bridges in operation in the US. It opened in 1910. The total length of the
  bridge is 1\,382 feet and has 880\,000-pound counterweights that are 
 suspended from the two 165 foot tall towers.\n\nComing down from the 
 bridge we will take a left and head towards the Tilikum Crossing bridge 
 (2) and go over and turn right onto Bond Ave.\n\nThe Tilikum Crossing 
 Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge and opened in 2015. The bridge is 1\,720 
 feet long and offers crossing for pedestrians\, cyclists\, and public 
 transit.\n\nWe will navigate up along the waterfront towards the Steel 
 Bridge (3) and cross east on the lower deck.\n\nThe Steel Bridge is a 
 through truss double-deck vertical-lift bridge and opened in 1912. It is 
 the only double-deck bridge with independent lifts in the world. The 
 upper-deck offers access for cars\, public transit\, pedestrians\, and 
 cyclists. The lower-deck offers access for railcars\, pedestrians\, and 
 cyclists.\n\nWe will navigate through some city roads and head towards the
  Blumenauer Bridge (4).\n\nThe Blumenauer Bridge\, previously known as the
  Congressman Earl Blumenauer Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge and Sullivan’s 
 Crossing\, connects Lloyd District and Kerns neighborhoods and spans over 
 Interstate 84. The bridge opened in 2022. It is a tied-arch design and is 
 475 feet long and is only accessible to pedestrians and cyclists.\n\nWe 
 will head north on 7th Ave and turn left onto Broadway heading over the 
 Broadway Bridge (5) and back to the store.\n\n The Broadway Bridge is a 
 truss rall-type bascule bridge that is 1\,742 feet long and opened in 
 1913. It is the longest bascule design type bridge in type in the world.  
 In 2012 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The 
 bridge is accessible to pedestrians\, cyclists\, cars\, and public 
 transit.\n\n\nKey takeaways:\n•Meet at the store to sign waivers at 5:30PM
