Benson Bridge To Reopen Memorial Day Weekend

The historic Benson Bridge over Multnomah Falls and surrounding trails will reopen to the public on Memorial Day weekend.  The pedestrian bridge has been closed since January 9, when it was damaged by a large rock that fell from the surrounding cliffs.  Rock fall damage has been repaired, and the bridge built in 1914 was cleaned and given a new seal coat to prevent deterioration from the wet environment in the spray zone of the falls.  The Wahkeena to Multnomah Falls hiking loop will be passable upon the bridge reopening.  A reopening ceremony is planned for May 30 at 10 a.m.
