PORTLAND – All northbound lanes of the Interstate Bridge will close Saturday night Aug. 24 while crews rebuild the drawbridge sign and work on other drawbridge mechanical systems.

The closure will begin at 11 p.m. Saturday Aug. 24 with all northbound lanes open again at 7 a.m. Sunday Aug. 25. The northbound on-ramp from Hayden Island to Interstate 5 will close during the same hours.

The sidewalk on the northbound span will also close but the sidewalk on the southbound span will remain open.

As a detour, Washington-bound traffic should take Interstate 84 east to Interstate 205 north across the Glenn Jackson Bridge over the Columbia River.

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