Portland Photo of the Day: An Interstate Tangle from Moody Ave


Location: I-5 & I-405 Interchange to the Marquam Bridge from SW Moody Ave
Factoid: The design of the Marquam Bridge was so vehemently hated by Portlanders that a formal protest against the bridge was issued by the Portland Arts Commission. Despite essentially creating a visual blockade through the center of Portland, the Marquam Bridge remains the busiest bridge in Oregon, shouldering the weight of over 135,000 vehicles a day.
