The below West Linn/Oregon City Arch Bridge update was provided by the Oregon Department of Transportation on November 8, 2010:
Bridge Closure date: The contractor has now set the date of the closure of the Arch Bridge to all traffic. It is Saturday, January 15, 2011. The closure is expected to last up to 24 months.
A public event is planned on January 15 to celebrate the heritage of the bridge and to walk across it. Mark your calendar and stay tuned for more details.
Free shuttle service for bicyclists and pedestrians will start on January 15. We are finalizing the details of the shuttle service which will run 7 days a week. Schedules, stop locations and route details will be available in December.
Two open houses for the project will be scheduled for early January. One will be held in West Linn and one in Oregon City. The purpose is to share information about the project and answer any questions. More details will be forthcoming in a newsletter sent to all area residents in late December. The open houses will also be publicized on the project web site www.archrehab.com and in the next email update.
Please contact me, if:
• You have any questions about the project.
• You are interested in hosting a presentation by ODOT staff at your neighborhood, workplace or business group meeting.
• You or others would like to be added to the email list to receive these updates.
