1) Going Street Bridge to Swan Island update
Portland City Council this week approved a $1 million contract for repairs to the Going Street Bridge to Swan Island. The bridge was damaged about three weeks ago when a Union Pacific train derailed. Three traffic lanes across the bridge are open, but the other three lanes will remain closed for an unknown period of time.

City officials also said they will seek to recover costs from Union Pacific and any other responsible parties.
