OR 58: Coast Fork Willamette River to Lower Salt Creek Bridges

Construction Phase

Region 2: Willamette Valley and Northwest Oregon (Oakridge, Pleasant Hill, Lane)


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This seismic resiliency project will retrofit four bridges to meet current design standards.

Impacts

Traffic Impact

Expect single lane nighttime closures with flaggers directing traffic on the Lower Salt Creek Bridge.

Construction Impacts

On Lower Salt Creek Bridge between 9/5 and 10/15, work will be Sunday through Friday from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
You can expect:

  • Single lane nighttime closures with flaggers directing traffic.
  • Delays.
  • Construction noise.
​For the work on Salmon Creek Bridge, you can expect the hiking trail under the bridge from Greenwater Park to be closed. Plan ahead - we are closing five parking spaces during construction.​

Construction Activities

Use caution - these are active work zones as we retrofit these bridges along the corridor.
