The Burnside Bridge is a bascule bridge that spans the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. The bridge was opened on May 28, 1926 at a final cost of $4.5 million (including approaches). It is the only Willamette River bridge in Portland that was designed with input from an architect. This led to the Italian Renaissance towers and decorative metal railings.
