Attention Community Members: The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will close the NE 42nd Avenue Bridge over NE Lombard Street for a complete replacement starting August 11, 2025 for approximately the next 2 years.

This will affect driving to and from NAYA as well as TriMet Bus 75 Eastbound to Milwaukee (Note: 75 Westbound to St. Johns will still stop at NAYA). Service has expanded to every 15 minutes from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. everyday!

From @pbotinfo: The nearest alternative routes for general vehicle traffic — NE 33rd Avenue, NE 60th Avenue and Cully Blvd — are not close by and cannot handle the longest or heaviest tractor trailers.

People driving passenger vehicles may choose to take other area streets to cross NE Lombard Street. There is currently no bike lane on the bridge, and no nearby bike facility, so no bike detour will be posted.

Use alternative routes, expect delays, travel cautiously, and observe all closures and directions by flaggers. Local access to residences and businesses near the bridge ramps will remain available.
