Abstract

Small collection of slides taken for the Oregon Department of Transportation, depicting the center-arch span of the Fremont Bridge in Portland, Oregon, being hoisted into place in March 1973. The images show the 6,000-ton steel span being floated by barge down the Willamette River and lifted 175 feet, which, at that time, was the heaviest bridge lift ever completed.

Dates: 1973 March
