So its not the best breed to pick the walkover for the scenery because its windy as heck like being on the top of the Empire State Building but its beautiful scraper night walk did you get photos of the Portland sign especially if its somebody from out of town.

The bridge is a good place to snap pictures of the city and iconic signs.

What a nice night out for a walk over the Burnside Bridge. The famous Portland sign is there and also it makes it much easier to travel across the bridge to another part of town that you made or not like. As a photographer, this is a moment for me to capture a long exposure shot in the city of Portland. This is one of many famous locations in the heart of the city. Good thing about traveling across this bridge, is that it can lead you into bike path on the other side of the river where you can take a moment and look at the city from difference view. Make sure youre not alone at night and always stick together.

A landmark to remember have excellent parksand comunial gatherings

I have to cross this bridge every single day to get to work, and boy do you see some things. Whether it be the famous unicycler blowing his fire breathing bag pipe or a woman feeding 20 seagulls a bagel, you’re probably going to have some sort of interaction. A great point to catch a sunrise over the east side of the sunset over the west side illuminating the classic Portland sign. Only big negative (although the construction will eventually yield a better bridge) is the ongoing construction. It has made bike/walking congestion a bit complicated on both sides of the bridge.

Eh it is what it is ! Lol, Downtown, but all the tags and what people like to call graffiti but is also known as ART, Makes it unique

Beautiful views. Burnside bisects the city from north and south and the Willamette east and west. I love feeling like I am in the middle of the city when crossing this bridge. Questionable dealings will occasionally happen here.

Walked to a good vantage point and took some great pictures.

Just dont get caught on it when the big one hits.

A little sketchy if youre new in townAwesome TBA if you catch it

Finally got a catfish! They are in there, got to hit them with the right stuff. Chicken cured in kool aide, garlic, jello and mushroom soy suace.

Awesome spot for a protest. Black Lives Matter President Trump is horrible.

Beautiful.. Great day did a walk

I think the flatness of the bridge is pretty cool

Thats what I call a river. Reminds me of Londonband Vienna, the way it is laid out.

Longboarded across it, good view

A day to drive around town

They do an excellent job on grooming my Persian cat.

A lot of bikes. One could easily get run into.

One of the many draw bridges giving Portland the nickname of Bridgetown it is a single deck middle split draw bridge (yes we a have double deck draw bridge)The bridge is like all others in Portland a one of a kind and sits approximately halfway between our two towering freeway bridges (high enough to allow ships through without disrupting traffic)With four other draw bridges also in that stretch of the Willamette river all unique. The city also has side by side draw bridges on I-5 separating Portland OR and Vancouver WA over the Columbia river.

Grew up here and have watched the area go from skid row in the 80s, 90s drugs, Y2k on still drug prob.s but not as bad. Dive bars, smut shops, alot of the weird stuff gone. Upgrading and updating nicely! Voter initiative plays a large roll. Still need homeless resolve as they diminish many businesses In a 20 block radius!

I was up set to see all the trash in the area and that city elected people let this go on and on...we tax payers must get better than this for our high tax rates we pay ...we need new leadership across the board.

THIS bridge is the best one to take pics of the Portland Oregon sign! Spend there like an hour with a friend and took pics. Would advice to get to the bridge just before sunset cause the view is great!

I only give it two stars because at least you can actually cross the river with it... also take a dump or slam some dope under - or catch the MAX - your call.

Pretty much the literal center of the city. The bridge defines the origin of the four city quadrants, and is pedestrian friendly, with very good river walkways in either side.

A signature landmark and a critical thoroughfare, the Burnside Bridge is undergoing construction work at the moment, which definitely detracts from both of the aforementioned qualities. Still, its sufficiently functional to permit traffic, and you cant miss it from either side of the river. Occasionally there will be river traffic which requires the bridge to be raised, at which point youll be sitting in a queue with a legion of other vehicles and pedestrians watching the bridge do its thing and taking bets on whether anyone is crazy enough to try a Blues Brothers-style jump. Thus far, no ones tried, which is a good thing.

One of the many bridges in the heart of Portland, and this one might have had the best views of them all

Lovely view

Beautiful peaceful place

Great view of the old town

Good steak. Good service. The key lime pie was excellent.

Its being renovated and its going to be like brand new. And the construction workers are just super good.

The bridge is super cool except when it isn’t there is it what it is really about? I’m confused.

Best bridge to access downtown.

Its a great bridge to cross over. I did it with my family several times to see my paternal grandparents.

Love it when Saturday market is running

So besides heavy traffic the bridges here also divide to let ships pass. Pretty cool if youre into that sort of thing.

Its a historical sight to really understand it you need to check it out

I Love this bridge.

It is a bridge. What is there to review? It worked and it didn’t fall down.

Good place to visit at dusk for skyline pictures!

Its just a bridge with a bad crowd that usually hangs out under it

Beautiful view

It gets me across the river every time I use it Ive even been on it when the parade was going on we had to stop in the middle of the parade and everybody had to get off of it because the boats are coming in and I lift it up watch everybodys cops and stuff all pretty cool Ill go later now that Im older I think I was a lot of garbage going into the river

I saw a boat.

Nice view

This is a great bridge! I love riding my bike on it. The pictures you can take from the bridge are impressive! I also like the access to the water front on the South side. Even when the bridge is raised, it is fun!

Saw a seal here, otherwise not that good for a bridge besides what it is supposed to do, still not as good as the rest, C-

Great place for spring time pics

Great view of downtown Portland.

Its a great place to go to watch far enough from the crowds all of the activities that take place along the river and its parks along the banks, without being trampled by able bodied people. Whenever there are fireworks on the river I also go for accessible view!

Does great at bridging!

Great pictures

I just passed by on the Amtrak train.

If youre looking for a unique blend of street people and construction workers, head to the west side of the Burnside bridge in 2017-2018!

I didnt know that you could rate a bridge. As a piece of infrastructure it certainly serves its purpose but beyond that I dont see anything special about it.

Party under bridge every Thursday night. 7:00p.

Stay in one piece bridge.

I love to take pictures from there cause I can catch downtown in all its different moods.

There are plenty other bridges in town that are more interesting than this one. (Check out the new pedestrian bridge or the Hawthorne bridge, for example.) But, this bridge can be handy. First off, rarely do they raise it ... only when the navy fleet, for example, arrives or leaves for the Rose Parade. Secondly it is wide ... which is useful if you want to bike or walk ... and not deal with vertigo issues or other heavy non-car traffic. The rerouting theyve done on the Eastside has made entrance onto the bridge easier (and safer) in recent years. Do keep an eye out for glass if youre biking across. If youre biking over to downtown, my suggestion would be to take a lower SE street to cross over to Burnside, and then to circle back onto the bridge to make your way into the business of downtown traffic.

Decade of construction stinks

Its a bridge

Nice bridge. 8th dimension portal conveniently located, plus they have a portal Porter in case youre unfamiliar with local customs and dress. Saved me from getting into spat with a drovurgum more than once.

Bad homeless problem.

I walk across this bridge all the time

Its a bridge and I like bridges.

Its probably one of the least cool bridges in Portland but the west side of town the bridge connects to is poppin.

Awesome beam bridge with two or three lanes!

Plenty of room for pedestrian traffic when there isnt a protest. It gets the job done.

It helps cross the river

Its a working part of history

Burnside Bridge needs Construction. Good thing it is happening Right now. There’s some fence wall that has a crack and it’s falling apart and the Sidewalk was just about to Collapsed and the Bridge will Collapsed too. Or they might need to build a new bridge. At some point there will be a Major 9.2 Earthquake that will destroy the Bridge and nobody should be crossing. There a Video that shows the Bridge Shaking during the Earthquake. The Bridge had to be Narrow Down to 3 Lanes. One Lane going West and 2 Lanes going East.During Martin Luster King Day is to go on MLK Blvd on MLK Day in Portland to celebrate the Holiday. He was the good guy but passed away so long time.

Great place to wander around for a bit. In the dry season.

Good views

Burnside Bridge gives you some really photogenic views of Portlands skyline and downtown district. Its both bike and pedestrian friendly.

Good view and a way to get from point A to point B

The bridge lift is super cool to watch. Thats something I never saw growing up in Arizona.

Great to bike or walk over. Though be aware that late night ppl like to sleep on the western edges of the bridge.

The Burnside Bridge is a good place to take pictures from,I agree.

Great looking bridge, but in the summer months when the river is high, they raise the bridge about 5 times a day, and I always seem to be on it :(

Funky place with lots of interesting shops, bars and cafes

Currently under repair

Wonderful view as you enter downtown

Lots of lanes, smooth traffic, a great overall bridge!

The chef doeuvre of the Bauhaus impresario Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Sellwood Bridge is an art-deco masterpiece that has been one of the true gems of Portland architecture and urban design since it opened in 1925. Its graceful, soaring curves and lustrous granite arches lend a stately feel to the southern end of the city. With its wide, subtly-elevated sidewalks, it has a placid and isolated feel in which pedestrians and cyclists can truly bask. Furthermore, it offers unparalleled views of the 9,677 ft peak of Mount Saint Helens, just to the north. Two thumbs up.

Scary place at night

Pretty bridge with nice views

Great historic landmark, major homeless problem in Portland needs to be adressed.

Under construction.

This place is beautiful

Center of the bridge = Center of the gridNow you wanna go SE, north, NW, east, west over the hills or wut.

Nice bridge.

Beautiful historic bridge marred by homeless camps and human excrement

Awesome

Probably one of the more iconic bridges in Portland - its busy during rush hour as its a main artery through the city.

Its big and very bridge.

Cool bridge. Moves.

Love it

Cool area

Nice bridge
