Don’t know how OR references it, but it’s a beautiful bridge though.
Oh here the signs for it on US 30 westbound.

Or US 433, but I won't get into it too much here.

I believe it is gone now.

It could be because the State of Washington owns the bridge.

Exactly right. Although the two states have split the cost on several maintenance projects, including replacing the entire bridge deck section-by-section, Washington state owns the bridge.
There's little need for Oregon to have their own OR 433 route shields on their short section. Instead, it would be nice if ODOT acknowledged WA 433 on their signage on US 30. Maybe also a "TO WA 433" sign on the bridge approach. For that matter, they could also mention "TO I-5" on the signs. Especially since Washington has "TO US 30" signs all around the Longview-Kelso area, even way out on I-5.

It is gone now. Thanks for the picture. It looked to me like an off-model Washington shield assembly that Oregon made.
