The famous bridge in Astoria, Oregon is called the Astoria-Megler Bridge. It is a steel cantilever bridge that spans the Columbia River, connecting Astoria, Oregon with Point Ellice near Megler, Washington. The bridge is 4.1 miles long and was opened in 1966. It was designed by William Adair Bugge, and its construction was a joint effort between the states of Oregon and Washington. The bridge was constructed to replace the Astoria-Megler Ferry, which was the only way to cross the river prior to the construction of the bridge.
