The Dalles Bridge

on US 197 in The Dalles

The Dalles Bridge connects The Dalles, Oregon, with Murdock and Dallesport in Washington State.
A ferry operated here in 1854 and many people tried to get a bridge across the Columbia but failed. Not until The Dalles Dam was built by the Army Corps of Engineers, did the bridge become a reality.

The steel-truss-cantilever bridge was completed in 1953, one of two cantilever bridge built in Washington State during the 1950s. The bridge is 3,339 feet long and cost $2.4 million. It was a toll bridge until 1974.
