The Hawthorne Bridge is a truss bridge with a vertical lift that spans the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, joining Hawthorne Boulevard and Madison Street. It is the oldest vertical-lift bridge in operation in the United States[2] and the oldest highway bridge in Portland. It is also the busiest bicycle and transit bridge in Oregon, with over 8,000 cyclists[3] and 800 TriMet buses (carrying about 17,400 riders) daily.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in November 2012.[4][5]

Statistics

The bridge consists of five fixed spans and one {{convert|244|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} vertical-lift span. It is {{convert|1382|ft|m}} in total length.[2] The bridge was originally {{convert|63|ft|m}} wide,[6] including two five-foot sidewalks, but the sidewalks were widened to 10 feet in 1998, increasing the structure's overall width to {{convert|73|ft|m}}.[2] The {{convert|880000|lb|kg|adj=on}} counterweights are suspended from the two {{convert|165|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall}} towers.[2] On average, the lift span is raised for river traffic 120 times per month.[2]{{rp|62}} While the river is at low level, the bridge is {{convert|49|ft|m}} above the water, causing it to be raised an average of 200 times per month. As of 2001, the average daily traffic was 30,500 vehicles. The bridge was designed by Waddell & Harrington, which also designed the Steel and Interstate bridges.[2] John Alexander Low Waddell invented the modern-day vertical-lift bridge.[2]

History

The current bridge was built to replace the second Madison Street Bridge, a wooden bridge built in 1900. It cost $511,000 to build[7] and was opened on December 19, 1910.[2][8] Hawthorne Boulevard (and thus the bridge) was named after Dr. J.C. Hawthorne, the cofounder of Oregon's first mental hospital and early proponent for the first Morrison Bridge.[2]

The streetcar tracks across the bridge were originally in the outer lanes,[9] but were relocated to the center lanes in 1931.[10] The deck was changed from wood to steel grating in 1945.[2]

In 1985 the lift span sheaves, the grooved wheels that guide the counterweight cables, were replaced. The bridge went through a $21 million renovation from 1998–99, which included replacing the steel grated deck and repainting.[2][11] The original lead-based paint was completely removed and replaced with 3 layers of new paint that is estimated to last 30 years.[12] During this upgrade the sidewalks were widened to {{convert|10|ft|m}}, making it a thoroughfare for bicycle commuters. Due to the replacement of the steel deck during this project, the channels which used to carry the rails for streetcars and interurban trains were also removed. The bridge was closed for one year to permit the renovation to be carried out.[2]

The original color of the bridge was black, lasting until 1964, when it was repainted yellow ochre.[13] During the 1998–99 renovation, the color was changed to green with red trim.[2]

In 2001, the sidewalks were connected to the Eastbank Esplanade. In 2005, the estimated cost to replace the bridge was $189.3 million.[14]

The 2003 film, The Hunted, included a scene set on MAX on the Hawthorne Bridge. Since MAX does not cross the bridge, the movie company connected two articulated buses remodeled to resemble a MAX train, complete with fake overhead lines and a sprinkler system to simulate rain.[15][16] Light-rail (interurban) service did cross the Hawthorne Bridge until 1956.[17]

The new deck put in place in the outer lanes during the 1998–99 renovation was designed to be strong enough for possible use by modern, heavier streetcars or light rail trains in the future,[18][19] which was proposed at that time,[18] and TriMet was still considering a Hawthorne Bridge routing for its future MAX Orange Line, to Milwaukie, in 2002.[20] However, following the transit agency's later decision to build the Tilikum Crossing for the Milwaukie MAX line, which bridge could also be used by the Portland Streetcar,[21] it became unlikely that rail cars will ever again cross the Hawthorne Bridge.

In August 2012, an automated bicycle counter was installed on the bridge, the first such counter to be installed in a U.S. city. It was purchased by the non-profit group Cycle Oregon and donated to the city.[22] The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places[23] in November 2012.[5]

Pop culture references

  • Elliott Smith mentions the Hawthorne Bridge in the song "I Can't Answer You Anymore."[24]
  • Portland composer, Jack Gabel, sampled tire whines and engine drones of vehicles crossing the bridge to make the musique concrète sound track for his 1987 Artquake/Bumbershoot installation, in collaboration with kinetic artist Bill Will and video artist Kurt Spak, titled AUTO-TOMY [25]
