This just in from ODOT:
Bike/ped path closed on SB Interstate Bridge
Gate protecting the public during bridge lifts inoperable because of electrical problemsThe bike and pedestrian path on the southbound span of the Interstate Bridge will be closed until next week to repair electrical problems with the gate.
Bicyclists and pedestrians may use the path on the northbound span as a detour.
The gate, on southern end of the span, keeps bike and pedestrian traffic safe during bridge lifts.
ODOT hopes to open the path by the middle of next week.
