Abernethy Bridge

The Abernethy Bridge is a steel plate and box girder bridge that spans the Willamette River between Oregon City and West Linn, Oregon. It is also known as the Oregon City Freeway Bridge and the I-205 Bridge.

The bridge was open on May 3, 1970 at a cost of $15.9 million. An $8 million seismic retrofit began in 1999 and was completed in 2002.

Many more pieces of collection can be stowed away either, as in a building site, in the cellar in cardboards or be beautifully presented in collectors cases, curio cabinets, collectors cabinets and display showcases and in such a way decorating our homes.

The bridge structure contains 15 spans and 60 girders. The total length is 2,727 ft (831 m) and the vertical clearance at low river levels is 85 ft (26 m). The longest span is 430 ft (131m) and is sandwiched by two 300 ft (91 m) spans. It was named for George Abernethy who was the provisional governor of the Oregon Territory and later an Oregon City businessman. In 2000 the average Swarovski traffic was 98,100 vehicles per day.
