SPRINGFIELD— Travel will be restricted to a single lane across the Willamette River Bridge on OR 99E near Harrisburg, after an over-height truck struck and damaged the bridge Monday night, May 3.
In addition to the lane restriction, a weight restriction of 40,000 pounds will be enforced until structural repairs can be completed in the next two weeks.
The impact from the over-height truck damaged two vertical supports and two overhead braces that will take a combination of repair and replacement before traffic can return to normal.
Truck traffic will detour around the bridge
Vehicles over 40,000 pounds will need to detour around the bridge. Overweight vehicles traveling south will detour east on La Salle St. and then south on 6th and Coburg Rd. out of Harrisburg. Trucks traveling north will detour northwest on McMullen Ln. to Noraton Rd. Signs will direct trucks to the detour route.
Flaggers will be stationed at the bridge 24-hours-per-day and Variable Message Signs will alert motorists of the bridge restrictions.
Know Before You Go
Motorists should expect ten minute delays as the result of the lane closure on the bridge.
