Tilikum Crossing
Tilikum Crossing is a bridge located in Portland, Oregon, designed for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit. Opened in 2015, it spans the Willamette River and connects the South Waterfront district to Southeast Portland. The bridge is notable for its unique design, featuring a cable-stayed structure that supports its deck.
Named after the Tilikum word meaning "people" in the Multnomah language, Tilikum Crossing is the first bridge in the U.S. dedicated solely to non-motorized traffic and public transportation. It serves as a vital link for commuters and enhances the city's commitment to sustainable transportation options.
