The Lewis and Clark Bridge across the Columbia River connects Longview, Washington to Rainier, Oregon. It was completed in 1930 and was the longest and highest cantilever bridge in the US at that time. It was designed by Joseph Strauss, designer of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The Port of Longview is 66 miles from the Pacific and is served by two major railroads, inland barge traffic, and the main North-South highway on the West Coast. In terms of travel time it is the closest port to the Orient from the US.
