Tilikum Crossing: Bridge of the People

Marquam Bridge and Tilikum Crossing (Tony Webster/Flickr)

Designed exclusively for pedestrians, bicyclists, light rail and buses, this majestic cable-stayed bridge was a part of the expansion of MAX's Orange Line to Milwaukie. It's a sight to behold any time of day—but especially at night, when the river's tide, speed and depth determine the bridge's illuminated color scheme.
