DescriptionOld Lovejoy viaduct viewed from 10th Ave ramp on 7-31-99.jpg
The old "Lovejoy Ramp" (which was really more of a viaduct) that connected NW 14th Avenue with the Broadway Bridge, in Portland, Oregon. It was closed on the morning of August 1, 1999 (less than 24 hours after the photo was taken) and demolished over the following months, its easternmost section (out of view here) rebuilt as a shorter ramp between 9th Avenue and the bridge. The photo is looking northwest and was taken from a connecting viaduct/ramp on 10th Avenue, which closed at the same time and was also demolished. The Lovejoy viaduct (built in 1927–28) originally carried the street over a large rail yard, but the yard was abandoned in the mid-1990s, to be replaced by dense residential development – some of the earliest of which can be seen at left (at what will be the intersection of 11th & Lovejoy). Lovejoy Street still exists at this location, but not elevated.
