This comment is almost a year late on the subject, but I guess better late than never.
The bridge was completed in 1960. The plans were put together in 1957 and 1958 per ODOT records.
The "Picket Fence" rail was called out on the plans based on a 1954 standard drawing. So Kirk was correct in the fact that the rail was from the dates he stated, just not the actual construction date. With that said, there is a chance that the 7th Street Bridge was the last bridge with the "picket fence" rail type built in Oregon.
