Frequent bridge lifts expected due to high river levels

June 13, 2022
This week expect traffic delays for more frequent bridge lifts on the Willamette River. Multnomah County maintains six Willamette River bridges (Broadway, Burnside, Hawthorne, Morrison, Sauvie Island and Sellwood). Currently, the Broadway, Burnside, Hawthorne and Morrison are staffed 24-7 due to high river levels on the Willamette. Many ships will need bridge lifts due to the high water. Those bridges will remain staffed 24/7 at least through Sunday. More information on Multnomah County bridges visit: /bridges.
