St. Johns Bridge Workers, Portland, 1940s

c. 1940s  ·  Portland, Oregon

Workers at the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon, in the 1940s. The Willamette River suspension bridge, opened in 1931, required regular maintenance crews across its working life; this frame likely documents that work rather than the original 1929–1931 construction.
