Major Road, Bridge Closures Disrupt U.S. and Canada Travel

Major road and bridge closures are impacting travel across several U.S. regions and parts of Canada this weekend due to ongoing repairs and construction projects. In Seattle, the West Seattle swing bridge is closed for hydraulic cylinder installation, halting all modes of traffic. Houston's southbound I-69 is closed for the Brazos River Bridge project through June 9, with major detours set up. Austin is experiencing major closures on US 183, while Portland faces simultaneous closures of OR 217 southbound and westbound I-84, affecting both road traffic and MAX Light Rail users. Pittsburgh's Parkway East is reduced to a single lane in both directions, causing congestion during city events, and southbound I-5 near Grand Mound, Washington, is restricted to one lane due to pothole repairs, resulting in significant backups. The Coquihalla Highway in British Columbia is also closed due to a sinkhole, further complicating regional travel.
