The historic town of Astoria
Astoria offers more points of historical interst than any other city on the Oregon coast. The Astoria-Megler Bridge was built in 1966 and was the final link in the Mexico-to- Canada highway system. The bridge stretches 4.1 miles from Astoria, Oregon to Point Ellice, Washington, crossing at the mouth of the Columbia River. The main span of the bridge is 1232 feet, the longest “continuous truss” in the world. The views are beautiful and well worth the drive over and back.
