New Car-Free Bridge Connects SW Trails
The Red Electric Bridge is now completed and ready for use! The bridge provides people walking, biking, and otherwise rolling with a direct, car-free path between SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and SW Capitol Highway. The bridge was developed, designed, and constructed by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) on behalf of Portland Parks & Recreation and is a critical part of the Red Electric Trail system.
“As we emerge and recover from the pandemic, it is exciting to see a new safe space open through such a gorgeous nature area. I’m proud of the work done by the staff at PBOT to design and construct another car-free bridge as we continue to build a more climate-resilient Portland,” said PBOT Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty.
