Construction on the latest segment of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail will close the right eastbound lane of Interstate 84, between mileposts 51-53 in the Gorge, beginning Friday morning, and lasting through mid-May.

The closure will be all hours and days. Earlier closures in the same areas for rock blasting caused long delays for travelers eastbound through the Wyeth to Lindsey Creek area. There are no detours.

During the work, crews will make repairs to the existing bin wall around Shellrock Mountain and build a longer segment of the wall for the new trail. The trail is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2019. Details here.

The Broadway Bridge will be closed to traffic for about 20 minutes around 7 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 17. The drawbridge needs to be opened to test new control struts installed as part of the Rall Wheel project. Use Steel or Fremont bridges as alternative routes.

A pre-6 a.m. crash has both directions of OR 224 closed at milepost 15, just east of Barton near Amisigger Road. TriMet bus line #30 is not making the full route to Estacada.

Update 8:12 a.m.; This crash has cleared and all lanes are now open.

Crews have closed the right northbound lane of OR 99E just south of the Oregon City tunnel for tree removal. The project will close the right northbound lane 9 a.m.-3 p.m. daily through the week near Railroad Avenue (milepost 12.6-13.4) as crews remove trees and vegetation from the slope that present a hazard. The project may require periodic full closures of all lanes to remove trees. These closures would last no more than 20 minutes.

Expect delays in the area. Access for pedestrians will be available through the work zones. Look for directional signs.
