Description

Built in 1926, the Vista Bridge is an arch bridge crossing high above SW Jefferson Street in Portland. It features Art Deco pillars and some of the best views of the Portland skyline. Unfortunately, the Vista Bridge is also known as the "Suicide Bridge" for the dozens of people who have jumped from it since its construction.
