Thanksgiving Day: Troubled bridge over Clackamas waters to reopen!
The 82nd Drive/Park Place pedestrian bridge is expected to open on Thanksgiving Day. It carries an essential wastewater pipeline.
Tune-up the bicycle and find your walking shoes! A favorite pedestrian crossing over the Clackamas River is about to reopen after a two-year closure.
Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 27) is the target for reopening the 82nd Drive/Park Place Bridge between Gladstone and Oregon City. That's when major repairs on the span will be completed. A ceremony officially reopening the span is being planned for the spring, but expect the bridge to be back in business for public use this week.
