What can I say about a bridge? It is a beauty to behold, that's for sure.

I used my GPS to get directions to a park I wanted to see, and unfortunately, google maps in all its wisdom took me on a course that put me directly on the onramp for the bridge (the park I wanted was actually right underneath the bridge - thanks google!).

Have traveled across this beautiful bridge many times both in a car and on a motorcycle. Gorgeous view! Traffic flows quick and easy. It's an icon in Astoria and photographed numerous times.
