The Wapato Bridge, formerly known as the Sauvie Island Bridge, crosses the Multnomah Channel of the Willamette River near Portland, Oregon, United States. The original Parker truss bridge, built in 1950 with a 200-foot main span, was replaced with a tied arch bridge with a 360-foot span in 2008 due to cracks discovered in 2001.
In November 2022, the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners voted to rename the bridge in honor of the Native Americans who originally lived on Sauvie Island. Subsequently, Wapato Bridge was chosen as the new name, and the change went into effect in November 2023.
