South sidewalk of Hawthorne Bridge closed on Sunday
The south sidewalk of the Hawthorne Bridge and an eastbound traffic lane will be closed from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm this Saturday, August 2 to accommodate the Red Bull Flugtag event. The event takes place from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on the west side of the Willamette River between the Hawthorne Bridge and RiverPlace.
The bridge sidewalk closure will allow a viewing area to be created for the event,in which teams launch non-powered flying machines from a barge in the Willamette River on the south side of the bridge. One traffic lane will remain open in both directions, as well as the north sidewalk, during the event. The closure will not impact river traffic.
Multnomah County maintains the Hawthorne Bridge and more than 300 miles of roads and bridges.
