The Fremont Bridge is a steel tied arch bridge over the Willamette River located in Portland, Oregon. It has the longest main span of any bridge in Oregon and is the second longest tied arch bridge in the world (after Caiyuanba Bridge across the Yangtze River, China).

The bridge was named for John Charles Frémont. Designers modeled the bridge after the Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia.

On March 16, 1973 the 6,000 ton steel arch span was lifted 170 ft. (51.8 m) using 32 hydraulic jacks. At the time, it was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the heaviest lift ever completed. The bridge was open on November 11, 1973.
