Project Information
- Location: Broadway Bridge lift spans
- Schedule: 2025-6
- Estimated Cost: $9.3m
- Funding Source: County funds for design; 90% federal and 10% county for construction
Project Description
The Broadway’s lift span deck is currently made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structural members. The existing FRP decking on the movable spans is retaining water and the structural beams have begun to fail, resulting in the need for extensive temporary repairs by County maintenance. The deck and supporting beams will be replaced with concrete-filled steel. This is the same type of deck that can currently be seen on the Morrison Bridge.
During construction, the streetcar tracks will be removed and put back in place. There will be no change in streetcar operations once the project is complete.
Schedule
Preliminary field work has begun, with no traffic impact expected.
The bridge closure is scheduled for October 2025 to April 2026.
Traffic Impacts
The bridge will be closed to all traffic at times during the project and two lanes will be closed at most times during the work. One sidewalk will remain open at all times.
Portland Streetcar will not be able to use the bridge for extended periods during construction. More information will be provided when available.
