Between February and October of this year, Multnomah County will replace the driving surface on the east ramps to the Morrison Bridge. The project area is from Grand Avenue to the east bank of the Willamette River. Currently, three freeway ramps are closed leading to and from the bridge while crews resurface the northern lanes of the ramps. The Eastbound freeway on-ramp is expected to reopen the week of May 14. The bridge is closed to all traffic from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday nights.
Traffic is restricted to one lane in each direction on the south side at all other times.
The bridge is closed to bicyclists and pedestrians during this phase of work. The traffic lights will remain on flashing red. One lane of eastbound Lombard Street will continue to be closed weekdays. Walkways are open, but pedestrians are urged to use caution. SB traffic routed to MLK via Multnomah.
