The Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge, more formally known as the US Congresswoman Darlene Hooley Pedestrian Bridge at Gibbs Street, is an approximately 700-foot (210 m)[1] pedestrian bridge in Portland, Oregon, United States, which opened on July 14, 2012.[2] It connects the Lair Hill neighborhood with the South Waterfront area.[3] It is a steel box girder bridge, a change from the original plans for an extradosed bridge, made to reduce the project's cost.[3]
The bridge crosses I-5 and SW Macadam Avenue, and connects SW Kelly Avenue on the west side to SW Moody Avenue on the east side.[3] At the Moody Avenue end there is a stop on the Portland Streetcar's NS Line, and the Portland Aerial Tram's lower terminus is located across the street. Construction began in January 2011[1] and was completed in June 2012.[4]
