The Bridge of the Gods is a steel truss cantilever bridge that spans the Columbia River between Cascade Locks, Oregon and Washington state near North Bonneville. It is approximately 40 miles (64 kilometers) east of Portland, Oregon and 4 miles (6.4 km) upriver from the Bonneville Dam. It is a toll bridge operated by the Port of Cascade Locks. The bridge was completed by Wauna Toll Bridge Company and opened in 1926 at a length of 1,127 feet (343 m). The higher river levels resulting from the construction of the Bonneville Dam required the bridge to be further elevated in 1940 and extended to its current length of 1,856 feet (565 m). The Columbia River Bridge Company of Spokane, Washington acquired ownership of the bridge in 1953 for $735,000. The Port of Cascade Locks Commission now operates the bridge. The bridge is named after the historic geologic feature also known as Bridge of the Gods. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the Columbia River on the Bridge of the Gods and the lowest elevation of the trail is on this bridge. ==See also== *List of crossings of the Columbia River *''Wild,'' a written memoir and motion picture about a woman's solo trek on the Pacific Crest Trail from the California Mojave Desert to the Bridge of the Gods 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bridge of the Gods (modern structure)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
