St. Johns Bridge is one of the three suspension bridges in Oregon , and tallest bridge in the city of Portland , connecting between Cathedral park on the North side to Linnton Northwest side , not as famous like Golden Gate or Brooklyn , but beautiful outstanding historical landmark , best of all No Toll , the best view is at the Cathedral Park , just Magnificent

I would not go to the area just to see the bridge, but that said it is lovely, you must go out to the tower on the riverside to really appriciate it. Pretty sure it was the entrance to the library in The Librarians (2014 TV series).

I guess it's kind of an unfair thing is that I love Bridges it's almost all of them get five stars. This one's no exception. I'm told it was the predecessor to the Golden Gate. And just for those people out there then don't know any better oh, it is not a Gothic style bridge is an art deco-style Bridge. Beautiful nonetheless

Take a walk out on the bridge and you'll get a great view of Mt. Hood on a clear day. The bridge is very interesting to see.

We had no idea that the prototype for the Golden Gate Bridge is in Portland. It was fun to see it. There's a nice park with lots of green space underneath it.

It is easy to walk or ride over this bridge. It is west of the downtown and really is only accessible if you have a car.

This is one of the most famous, loved, and walked bridges in the Portland area. Originally built as the test for the Golden Gate, the gothic spires soar majestically over the road and walkways.

Which side of the river gives better access to the base of the bridge - the east (through Cathedral Park) or the west?

US 30 into Portland from the North passes under the St. John's when I was last on the hwy itself this was a very trashy area on the south side I have not been in Cathedral Park in area that was once it's own city (St. John's) but I ran a marathon in 1977 that took the runners through the park and all I could see was the bridge so I would need to rely on the south side for the best camera shot.
