The West Viaduct near Multnomah Falls, part of the Columbia River Historic Highway, will close tonight for urgent structural repairs and will remain closed until repairs are complete. The closure will likely extend through the Labor Day Weekend. In addition, the Columbia River Historic Highway between Bridal Veil and Ainsworth (mileposts 14-22) will have a vehicle restriction, prohibiting trailers or long loads until further notice.
The best way to visit Multnomah Falls continues to be via Exit 31 on I-84 or take transit.
The Viaducts are currently being restored and repaired, for more information on that project, see below.
Closure Detour Route
Restoring the Multnomah Falls Viaducts
Historic viaducts carry traffic on the Historic Columbia River Highway to Multnomah Falls. The viaducts are original to the Historic Highway and over 100 years old and repairs will allow the viaducts to continue carrying traffic for years to come.
Construction will close the west viaduct between fall 2024 and spring 2025.
Columbia Gorge businesses and organizations can view a library of resources to help share information about this project.
