Electrical work on the Sellwood Bridge will require a single lane to be closed at times on Thursday, January 26 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.  Flaggers will direct traffic in both directions around the closed section of the westbound lane.  Drivers could experience delays of up to 20 minutes.  The bridge sidewalk will remain open.  The work is related to the bridge replacement project.

To avoid delays, drivers may want to consider using alternate river crossings such as the Ross Island or Hawthorne bridges. 

MultnomahCounty maintains the Sellwood Bridge and 300 miles of roads and bridges.  For bridge information, visit www.multco.us/bridges.
