That is the Sellwood bridge that runs across the Willamette River between Portland and Milwaukie, Oregon. If I remember correctly it was moved the beginning of January or end of December. Trucks and busses have been banned from it for years. Lots of politicking went on with the funding and alignment. The new bridge is about two years out.
