TRAFFIC ALERT: On Wednesday, June 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., the shared use path on the south side of the Morrison Bridge will have limited space for cyclists and pedestrians while a contractor removes a motor for the lift span. This work will be near the east bridge operator tower on the south side of the bridge. Cyclists and pedestrians will be directed to walk until they get beyond this section of the shared use path.
Plan ahead for your commute and use alternative routes.
This work is part of the Morrison Bridge Strengthening Project. The project is adding titanium rebar to strengthen the S.E. Morrison Street and S.E. Belmont Street approach ramps on the east side of the Morrison Bridge. This will remove the weight restrictions that prevent heavy trucks from using the bridge and keep it safe for modern freight trucks and other vehicles to cross. Crews will also repair the bearings and motors that lift and lower the bridge lift span. These updates will keep the bridge in good working order.
