UPDATE: ODOT said they estimate the bridge will be reopened around 8:40 p.m.

--

A semi truck flipped on Monday afternoon, coming to rest in the middle of the Troutdale Bridge and blocking traffic.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said the driver of the truck, which was carrying lumber, was not injured. But the truck flipped and landed on its side while making a westbound turn onto the bridge around 3:30 p.m. Monday, blocking nearly the entire bridge. No other vehicles were involved.

Sheriff’s deputies said there were minor damages to the bridge, which will likely need to be inspected after the truck is removed before others can drive on it again.

The sheriff’s office said it did not have an estimate for when the bridge could reopen, but said it could be closed overnight.
