It's a bridge, so it seems weird to "review" it, but it is a gorgeous piece of art, architectural and graceful. Come upon it on a sunny day with that brilliant working riverport below, it just dominates the landscape. I'm always happy to see The Saint Johns Bridge.

I think the location is little bit far from Portland downtown. It's near University of Portland. I used to live in North Portland so i came to this bridge alot of times. There's a park below the bridge and it is a good spot for relaxing, take a walk, and with the riverview infront of you.

What a work of the imagination! What a gorgeous bridge! And underneath it there's Cathedral Park. The whole thing seems inspired by some higher power.

St. Johns is a great little piece of Portland to explore. Once you've fueled up on food and drinks from one of the quirky restaurants in this area head out on the St. Johns Bridge for a walk on a spectacular bridge with a beautiful view. This is one of those places that absolutely makes you feel like a tourist... More

St. John's Bridge is my favorite of all the bridges in Portland. Architecturally, it is the most beautiful, with tons of deco character. I see it is Portland's little version of the Golden Gate. Because it is removed from all of the other downtown bridges, it is a great one to photograph in isolation. A must visit for photo enthusiasts... More

Although I left Oregon in 1979, it is always good to see the little bridge that welcomes me back. It leads to St. Johns which has fallen on worse times but there are still places to visit there, like Patti's for a good and inexpensive breakfast. It has the charm of a 50's diner with oldtimers sitting around having their... More

This is the most beautiful bridge I think I've been on. It's graceful and just stunning. The design of this bridge sets it above and beyond just about every bridge I've ever seen.

The majority of non-Oregonians might recognize the St. Johns Bridge as the site of one of the more dramatic scenes from the movie "Pay it Forward". But for me it will always be the green giant that we passed under on our way to the ophthalmologist, the Portland Zoo, the Portland Beavers, or the Oak Pit Barbeque (all of which,... More

If you live in Portland or just visiting it's worth a visit. Great place to take pictures or just go on a walk. Right by the river and has a great view from the top of the bridge.
