Update: The Blumenauer Bridge is now OPEN. PBOT’s structures team was onsite this morning to remove loose hardware & add temporary expanded metal grating at the damaged guard rails. New fence panels to replace the damage ones have been ordered.
Damaged metal grating on the Blumenauer Bridge is marked with cones and caution tape after a person drove a car onto the bridge and damaged the panel.
