Bridge built in Vancouver heads through Columbia River Gorge to future home

The Columbian
Published: August 27, 2020, 5:17pm

A 360-foot-long, 2.7-million-pound railroad bridge was dwarfed by the scale of the Columbia River Gorge on Thursday when Bernadette Price of Skamania captured a photo of the bridge in transit to its future home on Drano Lake.

The bridge will replace a century-old predecessor along the BNSF Railway line through the Gorge, and is scheduled to be installed in mid-September.

Due to geographic constraints at the site, BNSF opted to have the bridge built in Vancouver and shipped up the river to Drano Lake.
