A temporary lane reduction and exit ramp closure on northbound US 181 will restrict access to North Beach for several hours Wednesday night as part of the ongoing Harbor Bridge Project.<\/p>\n
Beginning at 11 p.m. Wednesday, November 19, until 6 a.m. Thursday, northbound US 181 over the new Harbor Bridge will be reduced to one main lane. The northbound Beach Avenue exit ramp will also be temporarily closed during this time.<\/p>\n

Commuters traveling to North Beach will need to use a detour during the closure. Portable message boards will direct drivers to continue to the next northbound US 181 exit in Portland, where they can make a U-turn at Moore Avenue to access southbound US 181 back to North Beach.<\/p>\n
Officials are urging motorists to prepare for longer travel times, follow all traffic control devices, and reduce speeds in work zones. All work is weather permitting.<\/p>\n
