Astoria–Megler Bridge
A 6.5 km bridge spanning the mouth of the Columbia River, and the longest continuous truss bridge in North America.
The Astoria–Megler Bridge opened in 1966, connecting Astoria, Oregon, with Megler, Washington. It is about 6.5 km long, and its main span is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America. The southern end spirals upward to let large ships pass beneath. The best views are from the Astoria Riverwalk or the Astoria Column, though driving across is also spectacular. Crossing is free, and one day each October the bridge is closed to traffic for a running event.
