Rolling northbound closures will begin at 10 p.m. Monday night
VANCOUVER – All northbound lanes of the Interstate Bridge will close Monday night, Nov. 18 while crews do maintenance work on a support pier.
Rolling closures will begin at 10 p.m. Monday Nov. 18 with all northbound lanes expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Tuesday Nov. 19. Drivers will be able to exit at Jantzen Beach to avoid the closure.
The sidewalk on the northbound span will also close overnight but the sidewalk on the southbound span will remain open.
As a detour, Washington-bound traffic should take Interstate 84 east to Interstate 205 north across the Glenn Jackson Bridge over the Columbia River.
The Interstate Bridge is jointly owned by Oregon and Washington and is operated and maintained by ODOT. The northbound span opened in 1917 and the southbound span in 1958.
