THREE-HINGED CONCRETE BRIDGE, MOFFETT CREEK, COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY.

The curving lines of this arch are harmonious and pleasing. Its oldness is in keeping with the surrounding landscape. God made this country on a mighty scale. The mountains are high and the river is broad and deep. The towering rock, three miles distant on the north bank of the river, was a beacon to Lewis and Clark and the pioneer home-seekers who came after them.
