East Bank or Water Avenue to Marquam On Ramp Stub


This freeway stub is located on the east side approach of the Marquam bridge. It was to be an on-ramp of some type. The question is: where was this ramp bringing traffic from? MLK? The Morrison bridge? SE industrial area? In 1987, the city did a study about an East Bank/Water Ave on ramp that would have linked with this ramp. Unsure about it's original purpose when the bridge was built back in the 1960's.

  1. This particular ramp was to connect West Bound traffic from the Mt. Hood Freeway to the Marquam Bridge to then connect to I-405 and US 26.
