About

The historic westbound OR 126B Main Street Bridge over the Willamette River was built in 1929. The surface has cracks and is in need of repairs.

To improve the bridge's lifespan, we're:

Removing and replacing the bridge surface.
Replacing the bridge joints.
Repaving the road on the east approach.
Adding a bike ramp at the east approach.

During construction, we're considering a full bridge closure and would detour both directions of traffic to share the South A Street eastbound bridge.

We're planning to build and will have a better idea about construction schedule and cost as we get further into design.
