The Broadway Bridge in Portland will close to all vehicles and Portland Streetcar for six months starting October 13th. Crews will replace the metal bridge deck. The south sidewalk will remain open for cyclists and pedestrians. Portland Streetcar will continue to provide service with some modifications in its routes.
- The streetcar will serve the east side via the Tilikum Crossing, turning around on either end of the Broadway Bridge.
- A and B loop streetcars will operate as one line, going both directions through downtown and along the central east side.
- The stop at N.W. 9th and Lovejoy will be closed for the duration of the project.
Plan ahead for your commute and use alternative routes.
This work is part of the Broadway Bridge Lift Deck Replacement Project. A contractor will be replacing the bridge deck – that’s the surface you drive on, of the movable section of the bridge. In order to do the work, the contractor will remove small sections of the bridge deck, one at a time, to ensure that the movable bridge sections remain carefully balanced and can be opened to river traffic as required by law. New streetcar tracks will also be installed in the section of the bridge deck being replaced. For information, visit: https://multco.us/info/broadway-bridge-lift-deck-replacement.
