Boone Bridge

Boone Bridge is a steel girder highway bridge over the Willamette River at Wilsonville, Oregon, in the United States. Built in 1954, it crosses the river to the Charbonneau section of Wilsonville, carrying Interstate 5 into the open Willamette Valley from the Portland metropolitan area. Maintained by the Oregon Department of Transportation, the 1,111-foot-long bridge has three travel lanes in each direction. To the west is the site of the former Boone's Ferry, which the bridge replaced.
Alphonso Boone and his son Jesse Boone started the Boone's Ferry over the Newberg Pool stretch of the Willamette River in 1847. They also cleared timber and constructed a road south towards Salem and north towards Portland, creating the first overland connection from Salem to the northern section of the Willamette Valley. A railroad bridge was constructed just upriver in 1907 and was used for the Oregon Electric Railway.
