Good news on the work front for the Knights Bridge Road bridge project.

Construction work on Knights Bridge Road at Molalla River Bridge will pause starting Thursday, July 3, at 5 p.m. and last until Monday, July 7, to provide travelers with some traffic relief for the holiday weekend and Canby’s Independence Day Celebration.

Travelers will see message boards announcing the weekend opening later this week, but ODOT reminds drivers to slow down and use caution near the work zone to keep workers safe.

Knights Bridge Park closure

For the public’s safety, ODOT has announced that Knights Bridge Park will be closed for the duration of the construction on the western bank of the river.
