Portland is a city featured in the Oregon map expansion DLC for American Truck Simulator.
Summary
Portland is the largest and most populous city in Oregon. It was featured in one of SCS's blog posts[1] The Columbia and Willamette Rivers run through Portland. The city is located both on flatlands and hillsides.
| “ | There is no way to leave out Portland if you want to portray Oregon properly. It’s the biggest city in the state, the core of a populated region and a very important transport hub. There is a big harbor there and lots of industry. All that should be reflected in American Truck Simulator, not just in appearance, but also in the game's economy. | ” |

Portland's many bridges earn Portland the nickname "Bridge town" so SCS had to include several in their re-creation of the city. The Fremont Bridge (drive-able), the Steel Bridge, the Burnside Bridge, the Hawthorne Bridge, the Marquam Bridge (drive-able), and the Tilikum Crossing can be seen in-game. Other landmarks recreated in-game are the Moda Center (renamed "Domus Arena"), Oregon Convention Center, Oregon Health & Science University, Shipyard Commerce Center, and Portland International Airport. Portland is the headquarters for Daimler Trucks North America, which makes Freightliner and Western Star, as well as Detroit engines.
