With repairs as the focus, Multnomah County is systematically working its way through Willamette River bridges in downtown Portland, bringing the crossings up to speed in terms of maintenance and operations.
Multnomah County turned a 1925-built bridge serving as a traffic pinch-point into an award-winning new design when it created a fresh Sellwood Bridge across the Willamette River.
A $10.4 million fix to replace what was supposed to solve all sorts of slippery situations on Portland’s Morrison Bridge over the Willamette River has started.
Expect this spring to hold a complicated fix for the four Rall wheels on Portland’s Broadway Bridge, one of the few remaining lift bridges in the world using the Rall design.
