The Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge


The City of Portland is working to build a new bike and pedestrian bridge over I-5 to connect the historic Lair Hill neighborhood with the South Waterfront District. The bridge will span approximately 700 feet, and will have a landing on the west side near the intersection of SW Gibbs Street and SW Kelly Avenue and on the east side near the intersection of SW Gibbs Street and SW Moody Avenue (you can see the exact location of the bridge on this map (PDF)). It will make life much easier for pedestrians and cyclists, improving safety and convenience.
