Work on Portland’s $4.2 million Morrison Bridge steel grating replacement resumes today, reinstating traffic changes that haven’t been in place since November.
Conway Construction of Ridgefield, Wash., is replacing the grating with a solid deck surface that will provide greater traction. Work on the south half of the lift span has been completed.
