*Alternate Routes during Heavy Traffic Times:
-
During work-day afternoon rush hours I-5 northbound gets slow.
Usually from about 2:00 to about 6:45 the traffic can be pretty bad,
with stop and go traffic common during much of that time.
So at those times I suggest that you avoid I-5 and use alternative routes.
-
MLK Bld. is an excellent alternative to I-5 if you are driving north.
If you are coming from SE Portland then NE 33rd Dr. might be a good alternative.
If coming from further east then driving west on Marine Dr. is a good route.
-
If coming north on MLK Bld. instead of I-5, follow the signs for Marine Drive east
and then procede as above.
**Where to Park:
Here is what to do:
-
Drive east on Bridgeton Road (to the right if you are facing the river) from Captains Moorage.
-
The side streets on the right side are public streets and you can park there.
-
When you see the school playing fields on the right there is usually
lots of parking along the fence over-looking the school playing grounds.
-
Finally, there is always lots of parking in the school parking lot:
drive past the school, turn right on Marine Drive, turn right into the school,
turn right into the school parking lot, park, then walk up to Bridgeton Road.
-
Enjoy the beautiful walk to Captains Moorage.
