Thanks for posting these, RadFem! :hi:

How old is the Burnside Bridge? It looks Art Deco period.

on edit:

1926! And..."It is the only Willamette River bridge in Portland that was designed with input from an architect." per the Wiki article:

2. Nice photos...
...although, in terms of the subject matter, I must admit that I've always thought Portland had the biggest collection of butt-ugly bridges of any city in the U.S., if not the world. (The Burnside is nice, though.)
