Burnside Bridge and signboard

The Burnside Bridge over the Willamette River, which runs north-south through the city of Portland, is a historic bridge built in 1926 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge, with its two Renaissance-style towers and decorative railings, is also an active drawbridge that opens and closes more than 30 times a month, and can be crossed on foot. The "Portland Oregon" sign at the base of the bridge often appears on posters and postcards, and has become a symbol of Portland.
