Built in 1910, the Hawthorne Bridge spans 3,552 feet across the Willamette River with four lanes and is a key part of the city's bike culture. The bridge gives passage to over 30,000 vehicles daily, including 800 TriMet buses, along with more than 8,000 cyclists. During rush hour, bikes can outnumber cars. The wide sidewalks offer great views of the river and skyline. As the oldest vertical-lift bridge in the U.S. and Portland's oldest highway bridge, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
