Drive Across Astoria-Megler Bridge

Astoria Bridge, also known as the Astoria-Megler Bridge or Columbia River (Astoria) Bridge, is a truss bridge in the western United States that connects the states of Oregon and Washington at the mouth of the Columbia River. It was created by William A. Bungee, and when it was finished in 1966, it was the longest continuous-truss bridge in the world. When it first opened to traffic, the bridge, which connected Astoria, Oregon, and Point Ellice (near Megler), Washington, served as the last piece of the U.S. highway system connecting Mexico and Canada.

Numerous tourists from all over the world come to Astoria solely to cross the Astoria-Megler Bridge by car. Although it is illegal for pedestrians to cross the 4.1-mile-long bridge, you can drive over it to enjoy some amazing river vistas. The Astoria Riverfront Walk offers some great views of the surrounding area, but the rooms of the River Walk Inn are the ideal site to see the bridge.
