The DeFazio Bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge named after Congressman Peter DeFazio of Oregon. It showcases quite interesting and unique architecture with a modernist interpretation of the classic suspension bridge and serves as one of the main connecting arteries between downtown Eugene and Coburg Road. The DeFazio Bridge also serves as the main crossing between Alton Baker Park and downtown Eugene, increasing access to the park. It stretches across the Willamette River, connecting Alton Baker Park on the east side with Autzen Stadium and the University of Oregon campus on the west side.

The bridge is an important link in the extensive system of bicycle and pedestrian paths that traverse Eugene and the surrounding area. It is heavily used by students, visitors to Alton Baker Park, and residents of nearby neighborhoods. The bridge also offers breathtaking views of the Willamette River, Autzen Stadium and the surrounding natural beauty of the area.

In addition to its practical and functional purposes, the DeFazio Bridge is also a beloved landmark and a symbol of Eugene's commitment to sustainable transportation and outdoor recreation.
