Just found this on a railroad site: "Willbridge (the Willamette River Bridge)."
"Little Willbridge was situated at the junction of the Astoria Branch and the main line of the Burlington Northern Railroad. A small, rundown main street lined with older houses, most constructed between 1910 and 1914, runs parallel to St. Helens Road. ... The town got its name because it is southwest of the railroad bridge over the Willamette River at Doane Point."
