Construction Impacts
Thank you for your patience as we worked to replace the West Fork Dairy Creek Bridge on OR 47 in Banks.
The bridge has been replaced and the road is opened to traffic. We apologize for the delay.
We installed a temporary asphalt surface to get the road reopened.
The permanent bridge surface will be a polymer concrete that requires specific weather conditions to install and for the material to set. Using polymer to bind the concrete makes it less likely to crack, more durable and resistant to conditions caused by changes in the weather.
Warm and dry weather is needed to install this type of bridge surface, so we'll need to return in the spring to complete the project.
Construction Activities
Later this year, we will return to remove the temporary asphalt bridge surface and replace it with the permanent concrete bridge surface.
Sign up to receive project updates and we'll let you know when the work is planned.
Pedestrians,
including those with disabilities, will have access through or around
the work zone.
