ADA Ramp Repairs in April 2022
From the Portland Water Bureau
ADA ramp repairs will be under construction in April 2022, as part of the Willamette River Crossing Project.ADA ramp repairs require week-long closure in April
The pedestrian and ADA ramp between S Harbor Drive and SW Naito Parkway will be closed for repairs during daytime working hours in mid-to late-April 2022. Contractors working for the Water Bureau will repair damaged handrails, remove garbage and hazardous materials, and cut back vegetation. During ramp closures, pedestrians will have access to the nearby staircase, and people using mobility devices will detour north to SW Columbia Street.
Ramp closure timing and duration
Work on the ramp is expected to take two to five weekdays in mid-April. We will update the project website with specific dates once those are available.
Ramp closure hours
The ramp will be closed during working hours, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The ramp will be open during evening hours.
Pedestrian detour–use staircase
The staircase connecting SW Naito Parkway and S Harbor Drive will be open to pedestrian use during ramp repairs.
ADA detour
During this closure, the ADA-accessible detour will be through Tom McCall Waterfront Park, crossing SW Naito Parkway at SW Columbia Street.
