Input sought on when to close Lewis and Clark Bridge in 2023 for preservation work
Online survey is your chance to weigh in through Aug. 15
If you travel across the Lewis and Clark Bridge, which needs vital preservation work in spring or summer 2023, now is your chance to speak up about the best timing for a closure of the bridge for up to six days.
The Washington State Department of Transportation is planning closure of the bridge, which connects Longview, Wash., and Rainier, Ore. During the closure, the detour options for travelers will be either the Astoria-Megler Bridge or the Interstate 5 Bridge linking Portland and Vancouver.
You can weigh in on the timing of this closure through Aug. 15 in Washington’s online survey.
Crews need a full closure of the bridge to safely replace two bridge expansion joints at both ends of the bridge. Access across the bridge will remain open for pedestrians, bicyclists, and emergency responders.
