Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge Project

planned

The project will replace the existing Burnside Bridge with a seismically resilient structure with enhanced transit, pedestrian and bicycle access. The project includes construction of an eastbound bus-only lane on the bridge to improve speed and reliability for TriMet Lines 20, 19 and 12. The project also includes the construction of an area for buses to pull over at the west end of the bridge, 17-foot-wide protected bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides, and modified traffic signals. Safe access to transit will be increased on the Burnside corridor, including new and reconstructed bus stops, pedestrian refuge islands, sidewalk reconstruction, bike lanes, and upgrades for accessibility.
