(Portland, OR) -- The Steel Bridge is closing to pedestrians and cyclists starting today. ODOT says the closure comes ahead of repairs being made to the bridge this week. The multi-use path on the bridge's lower deck will be closed between Tom McCall Waterfront park and the Eastside Esplanade from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Friday. Pedestrians and cyclists can still use the upper deck of the bridge.
