Portage Bay Bridge will not reopen at the end of July. While planned repair work has been completed, stress monitoring equipment installed on the bridge has shown that portions of bridge’s original steel are not behaving as predicted. For public safety, the bridge will remain closed. Please continue to follow detour signs, barriers, and use alternative routes. The City is committed to the safe reopening of the Portage Bay bridge and the City is actively working towards a solution.
