ODOTGTFOpdx South

Oregon Department of Transportation Got Their Freeways On South Portland is a tour of the streets and spaces under and around the extensive freeway and highway infrastructure in South Portland. We'll see, but mostly not ride on, the world-renowned (for how seismically unsound it is) Marquam Bridge, the Ross Island Bridge, the infamous Harbor Drive that was never removed, Macadam, I-5, I-405, Naito, Barbur, and some sketchy tunnels. You'll also learn about why the street numbers go backwards and how to get around the freeway when the elevator is broken. Meet at 6pm by the red balloon sculpture on the West end of the Tilikum Crossing. Ride at 6:30. COVID safety: Please be vaccinated and respect mask/distancing needs of others.
