PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- With the Portland Rose Festival now underway, it's time to get ready for the bridge lifts during Fleet Week.

Fleet Week starts June 3 and U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Canadian Ships will be docking along the Portland waterfront.

The ships arrive on June 5, with six ships expected to come in the afternoon.

The ships will be leaving on June 10, and officials said to expect similar bridge lifts during that morning.
