Super beautiful- we walked the park down underneath the bridge and stood at the water for some time. When you first see the bridge from the ground up, it is breathtaking. These photos don’t do it justice. I wish the little park underneath was around the corner from my house…I’d be there all the time reading. We also saw a seal, which is wild bc I think the river is freshwater. Also saw a princess cruise ship go under the bridge, which will give you an idea about the scale of this thing. Anyways, awesome spot to hang out and see.

St. John's Bridge, erected in 1931, spans the Willamette River. It is the tallest bridge in Portland. Its Gothic Cathedral style attaches to lovely Cathedral Park, with trails along the water's edge. Such a beautiful spot, no matter the season.

Dreary fall day, but with a few trees left with color, and cloudy weather, the conditions made for nice photos. Beautiful bridge. At 80yrs old, the St Johns bridge is really cool!

Really nice views on or around the bridge. Cathedral Park is worth a visit. Clear days you get an excellent view of Mt St Helens, Mt Hood or Downtown. Beautiful view from the neighborhood up above the western end, Bailey St. If you’re taking pictures of Portland then you absolutely must come here.

It is 88 years young built in 1931. I've walked on it and it's made very well. People used to built things to last before the war.
2067 feet or 0.39 miles
It was built by the County with a voter elected 4.25 million dollar bond in 1928.
If they're legit, I'd suggest Portland City hall as they are the city responsible for the st.johns bridge if nothing else they should be able to point you in right direction.
Most of NE is navigated by buses. There should be a transfer from the nearest Max stop, which is likely about a mile or more from the bridge.
I personally didn't see any signs that indicated that wasn't allowed.
For exact weight limit you probably have to talk to the local city departments, but it is constantly used as a trucker route with multiple 18-wheelers on the bridge at one time.
Sorry I have no idea what the shield means on the architecture there. I didn't even think of it as a shield. Just as part of the architecture.
You can walk, bike, or drive, I have done all three. Alternatively you could jog, run, or saunter, and I have seen folks doing this as well.
