These Bridge Walks provide an unforgettable opportunity to take a tour with the woman who literally wrote the book on Portland’s bridges! Depending on the route (no two walks are ever exactly the same), you may visit the operator’s tower and bascule pit of the Morrison Bridge, test for synchronous vertical excitation, and make triangles with your bodies to “get” tension and compression. Walks are about a mile long, and usually cross three bridges, seeing eight in all. Some walks feature a poet or musician. ADA-accessible.
