	Fremont Bridge (Portland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Due to the public's dissatisfaction with the appearance of the Marquam Bridge, the Portland Art Commission was invited to participate in the design process of the Fremont.
		The bridge was open on November 11, 1973 at a final cost of $82 million, most of which was financed by the Federal Highway Administration.
		The bridge was named for John Charles Fremont, though one of the connecting streets was previously named Fremont Street in honor of the same individual.

	Tied arch bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tied arch bridge is an arch bridge in which the outward-directed horizontal forces of the arch are borne by the bridge deck, rather than the ground or the bridge foundations.
		The bridge deck ties the ends of the arch together, and is under tension, much like the string of a bow; therefore, this bridge design is sometimes called a bowstring arch bridge.
		The elimination of horizontal forces at the abutments allows a tied arch bridge to be constructed with less robust foundations; this bridge type can be easily situated on top of elevated piers or in areas of unstable soil.

	Peregrine Watch — Audubon Society of Portland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Many a traveler across Portland's Fremont Bridge has been distracted and delighted by the sight of a peregrine falcon perched atop a lamppost or slicing through the air at over 200 miles per hour taking aim at an unsuspecting rock dove (pigeon).
		Urban bridges and skyscrapers with their high, inaccessible ledges and abundant populations of rock doves and starlings meet many of the peregrine's nesting needs.
		Bridges are particularly hazardous for nesting peregrines because young falcons tend to fledge (leave the nest) prior to the time they are able to fly.

		For me bridges are the most interesting of architectural projects and although the finished bridge is 10 years away I suspect it will be a cable stayed design like Sir Norman Foster's Millau Viaduct.
		Frankly, I love the fact that Portland's excellent Fremont Bridge design (and PORT's logo inspiration) came from the massive public outcry that the less than stellar Marquam Bridge design produced, let's demand something innovative and distinctive again.
