TD Bridge Night Closures set to start Friday, April 21 for paving final surface
From Oregon Department of Transportation:
Crews are about to begin work on the final phase of The Dalles Bridge project.
The final step in construction is paving a smooth, continuous surface over the entire road surface of the bridge. To complete this paving work, we need to close the entire bridge to all traffic during the nighttime only for two weekends in April.
Our closure plan has been recently updated. This is the current schedule:
The nights of Friday, April 21, Saturday, April 22, and Sunday, April 23. Closures will be from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The nights of Friday, April 28, Saturday, April 29, and Sunday, April 30. Closures will be from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
This paving is very weather dependent, so our schedule could change. Check back here or on TripCheck.com for up-to-date closure information.
Some construction on the bridge is still underway during the week, and these impacts can be found on TripCheck or by signing up for updates here (look under Central Oregon Region 4 for the weekly construction updates).
If you need to travel across the river during these nighttime closures, a detour will take you over the U.S. 97 bridge at Biggs Junction. Emergency service providers will be able to use The Dalles Dam for emergency responses.
