It’s been a very long time in the making, but according to The Oregonian’s Joseph Rose, Multnomah County is set to open the new bikeway on the Morrison Bridge by this Friday.

Here’s the blurb from The Oregonian:

“After months of delays, a 15-foot-wide pedestrian and bike path over the Morrison Bridge — as well as a new automobile off-ramp to Southeast Water Avenue — is expected to be open to the public by the end of the week.

“We’re finally going to be opening it up it sounds like,” Multnomah County spokesman Mike Pullen said with a chuckle and a sigh.”

Rose also put together this short video showing how it looks.

I’m in D.C. until late Friday night, but I’ll be hopping on my bike and riding across this as soon I can. How about a group ride over the weekend to properly break it in?
