'''Portland''' is the easternmost borough located in the [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|GTA III Era rendition of Liberty City]] and the first island that the player encounters in all the three [[GTA III Era]] games based in city: [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], with a small appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. Based on the industrial area of [[wp:New York City|New York City]], Portland mostly resembles the run-down areas of [[wp:Brooklyn|Brooklyn]] and [[wp:Queens|Queens]] that are located directly outside of [[wp:Manhattan|Manhattan]]. While Portland is known as a primarily industrial portion of the city, focused on varied industries and shipping, a sizable residential and commercial population does reside in the island, as the majority of the island is occupied by several non-industrial districts. | '''Portland''' is the easternmost borough located in the [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|GTA III Era rendition of Liberty City]] and the first island that the player encounters in all the three [[GTA III Era]] games based in city: [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], with a small appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].

The [[Callahan Bridge]] is a major bridge linking Portland to [[Staunton Island]], and is one of two ways to cross the body of water dividing the two aforementioned boroughs. During the events of GTA Liberty City Stories, the bridge is under construction, but the player is still able to traverse the bridge, thanks to a ramp. After the events of GTA Liberty City Stories, the bridge was most likely completed, as the information pickup on the Portland end says that it would be completed May [[1998]]. It would still be used by [[2000]], the setting of GTA Advance. However, by [[2001]], a bomb [[Introduction (GTA III)|destroyed a major part]] of the Callahan Bridge. It would take some time for it to be repaired and for it to be fully functional again. | The [[Callahan Bridge]] is a major bridge linking Portland to [[Staunton Island]], and is one of two ways to cross the body of water dividing the two aforementioned boroughs.

The [[Porter Tunnel]] is the citywide tunnel system in Liberty City, with a segment linking Portland to Staunton Island. During the events of GTA III, the construction of the whole tunnel has been delayed several times, however, it would soon open segment-by-segment, starting with the section linking Portland to Staunton (after [[Last Requests]]). The tunnel could also lead to [[Shoreside Vale]], another borough of the city, with exits in [[Wichita Gardens]] and [[Francis International Airport | The [[Porter Tunnel]] is the citywide tunnel system in Liberty City, with a segment linking Portland to Staunton Island.

The tunnel could also lead to [[Shoreside Vale]], another borough of the city, with exits in [[Wichita Gardens]] and [[Francis International Airport in GTA III Era|Francis International Airport]]. However, like the segment between Portland and Staunton Island, its open would be delayed. The Portland entrance of the tunnel can be found at the northwestern edge of the district, in Harwood. Note, however, that there is completely no Porter Tunnel in GTA Advance, due to programming restrictions. | ||
However, during the events of GTA Liberty City Stories, no segment of the Porter Tunnel existed linking Portland and Staunton Island. In replace of the Porter Tunnel entrance in Harwood during GTA III, there would be a port for [[Ferry|ferries]], providing rides from Harwood to [[Rockford]] in Staunton Island. Mayor [[Miles O'Donovan]] promised that the ferries would last, however, by 2000, it would ultimately shut down, as no ferries can be seen during GTA Advance. | However, during the events of GTA Liberty City Stories, no segment of the Porter Tunnel existed linking Portland and Staunton Island.
