The Astoria-Megler Bridge is a stunning steel bridge connecting Astoria, Oregon, to Point Ellice near Megler, Washington. It is the second-longest continuous bridge in the world and the final link between Mexico and Canada in the US highway system. Every October, the Great Columbia Crossing event is held, where pedestrians can enjoy the breathtaking views of the bridge. It has also been featured in several commercials and the 1986 movie Short Circuit.

Hiking

The Astoria Bridge is the last bridge before the mouth of the Columbia River into the Pacific, about 20 km away. She was the missing link to the U.S. To make Route 101 continuously passable along the West Coast of the USA between Olympia in the north and Los Angeles in the south. The southern end of the bridge is in Astoria (Oregon), the other end is at Point Ellice, a mountain promontory near the settlement of Megler, where the jetty for the ferry to Astoria used to be.
