Abstract

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 6000-ton steel span being floated by barge down the Willamette River and lifted 175 feet, the heaviest bridge lift ever completed at the time.
