The first bridge of its kind in the U.S., Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People, carries MAX Orange Line trains, buses, streetcars, cyclists and pedestrians over the Willamette River in Portland, Ore.
About the bridge
Tilikum Crossing adds capacity to the transportation system, with better access to important destinations such as PSU, OHSU, the Central Eastside and OMSI, while reducing commute pressure on other bridges.
Bus Lines 9-Powell Blvd and 17-Holgate/Broadway use the new bridge, reducing their travel time and improving efficiency. Cyclists and pedestrians can access existing and planned greenways and bike routes on both sides of the river.
Opened September 12, 2015
The first span over the Willamette River in the Portland area since the Fremont Bridge in 1973
4-pier cable-stayed bridge type (two piers on land, two in the water at the towers)
Approximately 1,720 feet in length
2 towers, each 180 feet high
75.5 feet wide (110.5 feet at the towers)

“Tilikum symbolizes coming together. It conveys connections, in not only the relationships between people, but in the connections we will make as we ride, walk, run and cycle across this beautiful new bridge.
— Chet Orloff, naming committee chair and historian
