Reviews
This is an amazing bridge to bike across! We loved the views and the bike signals. Compared to other bridges we biked across, this was definitely the best and most bike friendly. You can also walk across the bridge.
Paid parking lot
Walked across and back for free
Wide spaces so plenty of room to go around people
Nice that bikes have one side coming and going as to non bikers
Great views
A very graceful bridge. And just around the corner you can take a free gondola to OHSU. From the observation deck there you can see a panorama of Portland and some of the surrounding mountains.
Cool bridge...walkers on one lane bikers on the other
Fun footbridge to walk across! Great city views, plus it’s somewhat quieter compared to the other bridges.
I love this bridge. It's a healthy challenge to race up on a bike while offering spectacular views all around. It helps transit and both tourism. Public transit runs smoothly here and I hardly have to wait for signals to end.
Tilikum Crossing is a cable-stayed bridge in Portland, Oregon. It spans the Willamette River, connecting the South Waterfront and Central Eastside districts. The bridge is unique because it is only open to public transit, cyclists, and pedestrians – no private cars are allowed. It opened in 2015 and symbolized Portland's commitment to sustainable transportation.
Tilikum means "people" in the Chinook language, paying homage to the region's indigenous communities. The bridge is the first in the United States to use domestically-produced steel cables. It also has a lighting system that changes colours based on the river's temperature. The bridge has become a popular photo spot and offers stunning city skyline views.
Great bridge for crossing but not by car because those four wheeled death machines are prohibited on this bridge. Lights up at night in a cool dayglow neon display that makes it stand out from all the other bridges. Cable start bridges are by far the sexiest type of bridge which is why I'm giving this bridge five stars!
