Among the major impacts:
• Broadway Bridge will be closed to vehicles from 7:15–9:45 a.m.
• Naito Parkway will have significant closures beginning at 7 a.m.
• Burnside Bridge will remain open for most of the event, but will have a brief full closure and other traffic restrictions early Sunday morning.
• Hawthorne and Sellwood bridges will also have temporary traffic restrictions.
• Numerous streets along the course will be closed or unavailable for cross traffic while runners are passing.
If you're traveling through Downtown, Northwest Portland, the Lloyd District, South Portland or other neighborhoods along the course Sunday morning, give yourself extra time and consider an alternate route.
