Front Street Railroad Viaduct, Front Street near Market Street NE, (D)

The narrow bridge on Front Street is sometimes a hindrance for north-south passage when cars are in competition with the train for roadway. However, this is a historic site. It is the oldest Oregon concrete viaduct still in existence. It was built in 1913 to accommodate rail traffic over the new Willamette River Bridge a few blocks south.
