Sidewalk demolition continues on the Arch Bridge

Here's the latest from ODOT on this long-term project:

A contractor is working on a project to rehabilitate the Arch Bridge. Work includes replacing the protective coating, replacing or repairing the steel support beams, replacing bridge railings and lighting and resurfacing the bridge deck.                          

The Arch Bridge is closed to all traffic for two years during construction. Motorists can use the Interstate 205 Abernethy (Willamette River) Bridge during the closure.

Work will continue on the Oregon City approach to the bridge. The contractor will continue to perform sidewalk demolition on the Arch Bridge this week. During the evening crews will close the right lane on OR 99E in both directions from Main Street to 10th Street from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday.

During the day, work will continue on the bridge from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday with no impact on traffic.
