Hawthorne Bridge to close Sunday for maintenance
The Hawthorne Bridge will be closed to road and sidewalk traffic on Sunday, October 26 from 7:00 am until as late as 5:00 pm so that electrical controls for bridge openings can be upgraded. Motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists will not be allowed on the bridge, which will be in the raised position much of the day. The bridge lift span will remain open for river traffic to pass. The work is not weather-dependent.
Alternate river crossings include the Burnside, Morrison, Marquam and Ross Island bridges. TriMet bus lines that normally cross the Hawthorne Bridge will be rerouted across the Morrison Bridge during the closure.
The Hawthorne Bridge, which opened in 1910, is the oldest working vertical lift bridge in the country. Multnomah County maintains the Hawthorne Bridge and more than 300 miles of roads and bridges.
