Section Of The Eastbank Esplanade Closed For A Month to Pedestrians and Cyclists

A 400-foot section of the Eastbank Esplanade closed last Friday by Portland Parks & Rec will be off limits to the public for at least another month. City officials say the closure of the section about 500 feet north of the Morrison Bridge will allow them to figure out why a piece of the paved trail was sagging and to repair it.

Until then, bikers and pedestrians can use an adjacent route running along the cantilevered section of the same route.
