For those planning to traverse the Morrison Bridge today, allow some extra time or take a different path. Multnomah County advises commuters to expect traffic delays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Maintenance work is on the schedule, necessitating bridge lifts that could stop traffic for about 20 minutes.
Commuters note that maintenance is critical for ensuring the long-term functionality of the bridge, but it's bound to mess with the morning commute. You might find yourself at a standstill mid-crossing, so consider an alternative route to avoid being late wherever you need to be. The county hasn't listed a specific number of bridge lifts, but they will occur periodically throughout the two-hour window.
Local officials urge drivers to plan their commute with these delays in mind to minimize the inevitable frustration.
