Monomonday Bridge

This is St. John's Bridge in Portland, one that I've blipped a few times. 
Since I happened to be in the neighborhood today, it was the obvious bridge choice. It was dedicated in 1931, having been built in 21 months during the Great Depression, providing work for many residents. At the dedication the bridge engineer, David B. Steinman said: "A challenge and an opportunity to create a structure of enduring beauty in the God-given wondrous background was offered to us when we were asked to design the bridge. It is the most beautiful bridge in the world we feel." This info from Wikipedia. It is striking with the Gothic towers, a real favorite of local photographers.
