Planned Saturday night closure of the NB

Interstate Bridge postponed by expected heat

ODOT will reschedule the work but the date hasn't been set yet

Aug. 11, 2021

The expected high temperatures have forced postponement of the planned Saturday night closure of the northbound span of the Interstate Bridge.

The closure had been scheduled for 11 p.m. Saturday Aug. 14 to 7 a.m. Sunday Aug. 15. We will reschedule the work but the date hasn’t yet been set.

Crews had several maintenance projects planned, including counter-weight adjustments, road deck patches and improvements to the lighting and the electrical system. Crews performed similar work on the southbound span during a July 31 overnight closure.

The Interstate Bridge is jointly owned by Oregon and Washington and is maintained by ODOT. The northbound span opened in 1917 and the southbound span in 1958.
