The Rose Festival Fleet pulls into the port at Portland's Tom McCall Waterfront Park beginning around 3 p.m. Wednesday (times are approximate) and again around 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon. Commuters who use several of Portland's Willamette River bridges will experience delays as many of them will need to rise for ships to pass under.

To avoid the lifts, use the Marquam (I-5), Fremont (I-405), Ross Island or Hawthorne bridges. Bikes and pedestrians can also use the Tilikum Crossing Bridge.

MAX lines will experience delays for Steel Bridge lifts. TriMet bus lines traveling across the Broadway, Steel and Burnside bridges will also be delayed. Consider using a bus line that crosses the river using the Hawthorne or Ross Island bridges to minimize delays.

Expect similar disruptions on Thursday as the remainder of the fleet arrives Thursday afternoon.
