Since OurPDX doesn’t have an official traffic reporter, I’ll do it this time… geez!

The Steel Bridge is having electrical difficulties; buses that normally cross it are being detoured over the Broadway Bridge. MAX commuters are being shuttled by bus. No expected fix time was available, according to TriMet e-mail alerts.

Also, there’s a house fire near 46th and SE Hawthorne. Traffic must be buckets of fun around there.

The freeways are slow, but they are moving. Slooow…

So, there ya go. Tony Martinez, eat your heart out!

The steel bridge seems to be better – I just went over it on Yellow MAX about 10:45AM.

@Eli – Thanks Eli. Just got an update from TriMet as well. The bridge was stuck ten feet too high during a test lift. All is moving properly again.

Hopefully not too many people were delayed. Those shuttle-switches can add to that whole ‘getting to work on time’ thingy.
