The railings, both on the bridge (upper photo) and on the Bridge Avenue ramps (lower photo) are being repaired and upgraded to meet current crash-resistance standards.
|
The bridge deck was badly worn and rutted, and many bridge joint seals were missing, allowing vehicle-contaminates in the storm water to drain directly into the Willamette River below. The bridge deck is being completely replaced and the number of bridge joints is being substantially reduced.
|
Inspections showed the bridge's main cables are generally in good condition, but their corrosion protection is wearing thin.
|
Some of the vertical suspension cables show wear and are being repaired or replaced and repainted to reduce corrosion.
|
| The sidewalks are crumbling away at the joints and from beneath the structure (note exposed rebar, in the second photo from right, above). |
