The Bridge of the Gods is a steel truss cantilever bridge that spans the Columbia River between Cascade Locks, Oregon, and Washington state near North Bonneville. It is approximately 40 miles east of Portland, Oregon, and 4 miles upriver from Bonneville Dam. It is a toll bridge operated by the Port of Cascade Locks.
The bridge was completed by the Wauna Toll Bridge Company and opened in 1926 at a length of 1,127 feet . The higher river levels resulting from the construction of the Bonneville Dam required the bridge to be further elevated by 44 feet in 1938 and extended to its current length of 1,858 feet . The Columbia River Bridge Company of Spokane, Washington, acquired ownership of the bridge in 1953 for $735,000 . The Port of Cascade Locks purchased the bridge with $950,000 in revenue bonds, issued on November 1, 1961. The Port of Cascade Locks Commission owns and operates the bridge still today.
