Part of the popular Eastbank Esplanade in Portland will be closed starting Sunday until further notice due to rising river levels.

The run starts at 6 p.m. on June 4 followed by the parade around 7:30. Drivers in downtown Portland can expect some road and ramp closures.

They appeared at the end of March: Around 20 round cement planters, about two feet in circumference diameter and perhaps a foot off the ground, placed in a row along a two-block stretch of sidewalk the west side of SW Naito Parkway. This wouldn't have caught our attention if it weren't for their placement—directly under the Morrison Bridge, where there's absolutely zero sunlight.

Investigators have said that the driver, identified as Xavier Denzel Rodriguez, was in a Nissan Altima with four of his schoolmates when he ran a red light.

The closure begins at 7 a.m. on Saturday, May 14  and reopens on Sunday, May 15 by 4 p.m

The incident occurred shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday near the southbound I-5 ramp to the bridge.
