Location

The Peter Courtney Minto Island Bridge is a bicycle and pedestrian Bridge in Salem, Oregon, United States, connecting downtown Salem to Minto-Brown Island Park. ^{[1] [4] [5]} With a budget of $10 million, it was approved by the City of Salem in 2010, with construction beginning in May 2015. ^[6] The bridge is named in honor of Peter Courtney, the longest-serving legislator in Oregon history, who had advocated for the construction of a bridge connecting downtown Salem to Minto-Brown for decades. ^{[3] [7]} The bridge is painted white, and illuminated with LED lights built into the handrails and arches, pointed downwards to mitigate light pollution. ^[2]
