Portland Marathon causes busy bridges, impacts traffic

Ahead of the annual Portland Marathon this weekend, traffic is bound to cause some busy bridges.

But don't fret, here are a few heads-up for what's closing and when:

Broadway Bridge will be closed from 6:30-9 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6 to all motorized vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Burnside Bridge will have on westbound lane closed from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6 for all motorized vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Morrison Bridge will have its south sidewalk and bike lane closed from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday. Oct. 6. Sellwood Bridge will have the westbound lane closed from 6:30-10:45 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6. Hawthorne Bridge will have its Southeast Water Avenue ramp closed from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Heck, with all the closures it might be easier to ditch the car or bike and join in on the running, though all other lanes and sidewalks on these bridges will stay open for the event.
