Spanning the lower Columbia River, the Astoria-Megler Bridge links the Oregon and Washington sections of U.S. 101, the Pacific Coast Highway. Opened in 1966, the Astoria-Megler Bridge stretches 4.1 miles from Astoria, Oregon to Point Ellice, Washington and is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America.
Pedestrians are only allowed to cross the Astoria-Megler Bridge once a year, during the Great Columbia Crossing 10K! Starting at 8:30 a.m. on race day, the Astoria-Megler Bridge will be CLOSED to all vehicle traffic, to allow the race to start promptly at 8:45 a.m. The bridge will reopen to regular traffic at 11:00 a.m. Washington Highway 401 is also closed during the start of the race to allow participants to get from starting line to the bridge.
