It looks like the Broadway Bridge is about to re-open this weekend.  The bridge was slated to be closed through September 3rd, and I wanted to know what would be open on the 4th.  I was hoping that work on the bridge would be wrapping up and that all lanes would be open for traffic.  I checked on portlandstreetcar.org and that isn’t going to be the case.  From September 4th 2010 until June 30th 2011 (!!!) this is what we can expect:

September 4, 2010 – June 30, 2011 – Broadway Bridge construction

• Expect lane closures with one lane in each direction maintained.
• The bridge will have a height limitation of 12’0” as well as narrowed lanes.
• The #9 bus will be re-routed across the Steel Bridge during this work.
• RV’s and large vehicles should detour because of narrow lanes.
• Bicycle and pedestrian access will be maintained on the south sidewalk, please use caution in work zones.
• The north sidewalk will reopen September 17, 2010.
