Umatilla Bridge (#0356)

Umatilla Bridge, carrying I-82 and US-395 over the Columbia River. From this angle, the two spans of the bridges were optically confusing, making it difficult to tell what bridge was carrying the traffic.

There was no opportune spot to photograph something else that was occurring very close to this site. Just on the east side of the spans was a major construction site that looked like it was the construction of a server farm (data center) due to the type of structures and the security around the construction. With a little searching, I found that my suspicion was correct. Amazon, which operates three server farms in the general area, was expanding its data center at the port of Umatilla.
