Willamette River Closure at I-5 Bridge Construction
Due to safety concerns, the Willamette River has been Closed to Boating at the I-5 Construction site in Springfield (as of July 1, 2011)
The Oregon State Marine Board has closed the Willamette River to boaters and other river users from the west D Street boat ramp downstream past the bridge construction. The closure remains in effect through Oct. 31 and is for your safety due to high water, debris and the complex construction project.
