A landslide has led to the closure of West Burnside, which will remain closed until trees, power lines and other debris can be cleared. The roadway may reopen by Monday morning, Jan. 18.
At about 11 p.m. Tuesday night, a landslide pushed what appears to be hundreds of cubic yards of debris from Forest Park onto West Burnside. About a half dozen large trees are down, with others looming over the roadway. At least one appears to be leaning on the Barbara Walker Crossing, Portland Parks & Recreation’s pedestrian bridge that opened in 2019 to safely connect the popular Wildwood Trail across West Burnside.
