Steel Bridge Signals and Communications
Revitalizing Portland's historic Steel Bridge.
Revitalizing Portland's historic Steel Bridge.
This project involved providing new signaling and communications for light rail and bridge operations, in coordination with the rehabilitation of the light rail infrastructure on and adjacent to the historic Steel Bridge. Built in 1912, the Steel Bridge is one of the oldest lift bridges still in service in the U.S. and the only remaining double-deck vertical lift bridge with independent lifting decks in the world.
The upper deck of the bridge accommodates vehicles, light rail, bicyclist, and pedestrian traffic, while the lower deck supports freight and passenger rail traffic, including operations by Amtrak and Union Pacific Railroad.
