Bridge Pedal Event Impacting Traffic

The Providence Bridge Pedal event next weekend will impact traffic on several bridges maintained by Multnomah County. 

Hawthorne Bridge

On Sunday, Aug. 9, starting at 4:00 a.m., the south sidewalk, all eastbound vehicular traffic lanes, the center westbound traffic lane, and the S.E. Water Avenue ramp will be closed for the event until 2:00 p.m. that day. 

***Please note, the steel grating on the Hawthorne bridge will not be covered with plywood this year. Please use caution while riding across the steel grating. There will be ramps in place to transition from the roadway to the sidewalk in advance of the steel grating for those who wish to avoid the steel grating. The Kids Pedal will be directed to use the sidewalk only.***
