Stark Street Bridge repairs to cause Historic Highway lane closure

Portland, ORLocal News

Road crews will commence repairs on the Stark Street Bridge next week, resulting in a single lane closure on the Historic Columbia River Highway. The focus will be on the damaged retaining wall at the bridge's north approach, which poses safety concerns. Due to limited workspace for construction equipment, the lane closure will last for 24 hours. To manage traffic, two temporary signals will be set up a few hundred feet from the bridge. This work is crucial for ensuring the bridge's safety and functionality.

Residents and travelers in Troutdale are advised to stay informed and prepare for possible delays. The repairs aim to minimize community disruption while enhancing infrastructure resilience, reflecting a commitment to maintaining vital transportation links in the region.
