A full closure of Highway 213 between the northbound I-205 on/off ramps and the Washington Street/Clackamas River Drive intersection is scheduled to occur between 8 p.m. Thursday, March 22nd and 4 a.m. Tuesday, March 27th. The City's contractor will use the 104-hour closure to safely pull a new six-lane bridge into position on Highway 213, where it will serve as a Washington Street overpass.

The bridge is a key part of the design to improve safety and the flow of traffic on the congested stretch of highway near the I-205 interchange. Use of a rapid bridge construction process enables the contractor to keep all Highway 213 travel lanes open in the daytime during all but four days of the nearly two-year construction project.
