About

enlarged project map icon

We're going to fix and replace damaged bridge bearings on the U.S. 101 Astoria-Megler Bridge.

Bridge bearings provide a resting surface between the bridge piers and deck/driving surface. They allow the bridge to move and flex slightly due to temperature changes, traffic and other factors without causing extra stress or damage to the bridge.​

Most of this work will happen below the bridge. 

This work will help keep the bridge in good working order for years to come.
