North Portland holds Cathedral Park Festival
The Cathedral Park Festi
val was liaM under (|,e «¿t.
Johns Bridge on August 12th to
promote tlw use of the park,
which is located under the
north end of the brklge.
The St. Johns Brklge has
been dlstlngulslssd by brklge
experts as one of the seven
most leautlful in tlie world.
By city ordinance on July I,
W O , the St.Johns Brklgewss
designated a Portland H isto ri
cal Landmark.
D r . Davkl B. Stalnman of
Koblnson and Stalnman, Con
sulting Engineers, wssthede-
slgner. lie has called the St.
Johns Bridge his "a rtla tlc
masterplece” , Robert Boblaw
was tie resklent engineer.
The bridge was tu llt in 21
months at a cost ol $4,250,000.
It was dedicated on June 13,’
1*31, as the climax of the Rose
Festival.
The people of North Port
land participated In ti» Cathe
dral Park Festival to empha
size tin need for proper and
park, however, is tie cathe-
d ra l-llk e appearance of tl«
concrete arches supporting
die brklge.
The architectural consis
tency of the design provides an
overall continuity that Is rare
in bridge design. Its aesthe
tic module, the pointed gothic
arch, prevails not only In the
tall viaduct piers lu t also In
the steel batterleg towers.
At tlie time it was Ixult it
represented
a number of

brklge construction. The sus
pension span ol 1207 ft.was the
longest of any kind west of De
tro it. It was tlie largest steel
attend «¿sponsion brklge in
the world. The 40 ft. high
towers were the firs t any

(if course, one of the moat
significant architectural fea
tures of the brklge is tl» sym
pathetic use of tlie tall reln-
foroed concrete piers to carry
the approach spans. Varying
In height from 22 to 150 feet,
tl» two shafts of each pier
rise from a leavlly reinforced
concrete footing, tailoring to
wards the top with tlie Inskle
faces converging to form the
sothic arch.
Although common today,
one of tl« unusual lea lures
of tl» viaduct pier con
struction was the use of
transit m ix concrete. About
16,000 cubic yards of concrete
were required.
The
cathedral effect of
these piers Is a unique aspect
of Oils landmark bridge. One
only has to be within these
giant gothic arches during a
foggy spell to experience an
Incredible spatial phenome
