Traffic Impact
Two lanes of traffic are open on the new Van Buren Bridge. Expect occasional lane closures and delays.
Construction Impacts
You can expect:
- Crews working during the day or night.
- Construction noise and delays.
- Lane closures as needed.
- An alternate route for pedestrians while the sidewalk is closed on NW Van Buren Avenue.
- Businesses in the area to remain open.
Good news – The 1st Street and Van Buren Avenue intersection is back to two-way traffic.
Bikes and Pedestrians
The bike and pedestrian path under the bridge on both the east and west sides are closed. These paths will remain closed for the duration of the project.
Construction Activities
Slow down and watch for workers – you're sharing the bridge alongside our crews. We're working on Van Buren Avenue between 1st Street and 2nd Street.
Visit TripCheck for the most current traffic information.
Pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will have access through or around work zones.
Pay attention in the work zone, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work!
Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers.
Remember: fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.
