Senator Ron Wyden and Congressman Peter DeFazio joined ODOT Director Matt Garrett, local elected officials and other distinguished guests to celebrate the beginning of construction for the Interstate 5 Willamette River Bridge on August 11.
The communities of Eugene and Springfield gathered to celebrate the beginning of the highly anticipated replacement of the existing detour bridge that spans the Willamette River, Canoe Canal and Alton Baker Park.
The presentations focused on the economic stimulus the project provides by creating jobs and improving an important transportation corridor. In addition, Esther Stutzman of the Kalapuya Tribe spoke about the history of the surrounding land and its significance to the community.
