I caught the end of the show too late to be on the air, but a couple of years ago I wrote a song incorporating most of the Portland bridges.  It was part of a broader project I did, where I wrote a whole album of songs about Portland, and I thought the bridges deserved their own song.  You can hear the song here: http://www.portlandsongs.com/CrossingOver.mp3  More general information about the song and the project is at portlandsongs.com.

Every time I cross the bridges, I know we have the best city in the world.
