Listen "Tyres on steel over Hawthorne Bridge"

Episode Synopsis

The Hawthorne Bridge, built in 1910 is the oldest vertical lift bridge in the USA and the oldest highway bridge in Portland, Oregon. I stood beneath it one sunny summer day, as the traffic passed over the open steel grills of the carriageway creating the rushing tones in this recording.

Recorded by Paul Stephens-Wood.
