PORTLAND, Ore. — Several bridges in downtown Portland will see temporary delays over the next few weeks due to the filming of a movie, according to Multnomah County.

The movie, "The Night Always Comes," is adapted from a novel by Oregon author and musician Willy Vlautin, reported the Oregonian. It stars Oscar-nominated Vanessa Kirby, who will be playing a working-class Portlander on a quest to desperately raise money by calling in old debts.

Kirby portrayed Princess Margaret in the first two seasons of the Netflix's series "The Crown." Following her shoot in Portland for "The Always Comes," she will start filming for her role as Sue Storm in the "Fantastic Four" reboot, reported Deadline. 

Here are the times bridges will be affected and when travelers can expect delays:

Tuesday, May 21

Morrison Bridge: Expect 3-5 minute traffic delays between 1-3 p.m. There will be flaggers on site directing traffic. 

Broadway Bridge: Expect 3-5 minute traffic delays between 6-10:30 p.m. There will be flaggers on site directing traffic. 

Wednesday, May 22

Burnside Bridge: Expect 3-5 minute traffic delays between 1-3:30 p.m. There will be flaggers on site directing traffic.

Thursday, June 13

Hawthorne Bridge: Expect 3-5 minute traffic delays between 2-5 a.m. Portland Police Bureau will be conducting intermittent traffic control during the shoot.

All sidewalks and traffic lanes will remain open during the event.

Multnomah County in a previous news release incorrectly listed Friday. June 12 as a filming date. The correct date for the June filming event is Thursday, June 13.
