If there’s ever a sight to see on Oregon’s beautiful coast, offering beautiful views of the twinkling hills of Astoria and the majestic view of the mouth of the Columbia River, it is the Astoria-Megler Bridge. The bridge is a steel cantilever through a truss bridge and unbelievably is almost 5 miles long.
