Default PORTLAND: Goodbye to the old Sellwood bridge 2/25/16 7:30-8:30

Anyone besides me going tonight? I last walked across the Sellwood Bridge back in the 1950's and look forward to "walking" across on my Segway.

The old Sellwood Bridge will close to traffic at 7 pm on Thursday, February 25 and the new bridge will open to traffic during the first week of March.

While a lot of construction still remains after the new bridge opens to traffic, two celebrations are planned to mark these major milestones.

On Thursday night February 25, fans of the old Sellwood Bridge will have one last chance to say goodbye. The old bridge will permanently close to traffic that day at 7 pm. From 7:30 – 8:30 pm, residents can walk across the 90-year old bridge one last time to say goodbye. Bring your flashlights, electric candles, and phone lights for this candlelight event. A bagpiper in kilts will lead the gathered friends of the old bridge as we bid it farewell.

Participants should assemble on Grand Avenue off of Spokane street (near the bridge's north sidewalk) no earlier than 7 pm. The procession starts at 7:30 pm. We’ll have time to walk from east to west and back again. The bridge will need to be cleared by 8:30 pm so that work to set up the new bridge for traffic can begin.
