The Morrison Bridge in Portland, Oregon, is a vital link in the city's network of highways and bridges, serving as a strategic gateway to downtown Portland. Originally completed in 1958, the bridge features a sleek and minimalist design, marking the advancement of freeways and faster cars in the area.
With a daily traffic volume of 50,000 vehicles, the Morrison Bridge spans the Willamette River and offers a unique feature of LED architectural lights that can illuminate the river piers in various colors. Managed by the Willamette Light Brigade, these lighting displays can be scheduled for a fee, adding a vibrant touch to the bridge's surroundings.
