Interested in taking some night shots of this bridge. Can anyone provide information pertaining to a good vantage point in the city to do this? Thx!

This bridge crosses the Willamette River north of the Ross Island bridge and south of the Marquam bridge. I would think photo access would be good around the South East side of the river around OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) or in S.E. Caruthers St./S.E. 4th Ave. There are places to walk along the river to find a great vantage point with downtown Portland or other bridges in the background if you want.
Be sure to visit some of the fun restaurants and brew pubs in that S.E. area!!

Lazy J. I'm not sure you can walk across the Ross Island Bridge but if you can, it looks like a good spot. This is a Google map photo looking at the bridge while you are up on Ross Island Bridge

Try one of the dinner cruise boats, you can get some great photos of any of the bridges

It would be dangerous to cross the Ross Island Bridge on foot. Traffic moves fast and the lanes are narrow. I wouldn't recommend it.

Ah, yes....my lazy grammar. I used "This" a reference to the written subject. The bridge name should have been used instead of the lazy "This", I believe. Nice catch!

No no no! This post meant that THIS was the info the OP needed that you provided. It had nothing to do with grammar. Sorry for the confusion.
