Please join us for a community celebration

From ODOT-

It’s
hard to believe that the new Whilamut Passage Bridge is opening in August!

We’ve
scheduled two upcoming events to commemorate this occasion and hope you can
join us: 

Opening
ceremony with U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio: 10 a.m., Friday, July 26



Community celebration and bridge
walk: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 3

A brief ceremony will start at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

Family friendly
and fun for all ages, both events will take place in the Whilamut Natural Area
of Alton Baker Park and will include brief presentations, project information
and walking tours of the new northbound bridge.





Getting there:





The celebrations
will be held north of the Knickerbocker Bridge in the Whilamut Natural Area of
Alton Baker Park.





We encourage
attendees to use alternate modes of transportation. There are nearby bus stops
and many bicycle and pedestrian routes to the natural area. Senior and disabled
parking will be located in Lot 9 off Leo Harris Parkway. A courtesy shuttle
will transport those from the senior and disabled parking area to the event
site.

Keep
reading this blog to learn more about the festivities. We look forward to
sharing this important day with you!
