The Burnside Bridge will be closed to all traffic from 11 p.m. Friday until as late as 5 a.m. Monday due to an ongoing maintenance project.

During this closure, Multnomah County recommends drivers use alternative crossings such as the Morrison Bridge or Steel Bridge.

When the Burnside Bridge reopens Monday, westbound traffic will be narrowed to one lane instead of two. This traffic pattern will continue until December.

Seven to eight feet wide shared-use paths for bicyclists and pedestrians will still exist on both sides of the bridge starting Monday.

The Burnside Bridge is entering the final phase of a maintenance project that began in 2017. The $19.1 million project is designed to extend the life of the bridge 15 to 20 years.

The project will be making surface, structural and mechanical repairs to the bridge.
