TILLAMOOK—Three bridges on Oregon 6 and U.S. 26 in Tillamook and Washington counties are stronger and safer, six months earlier than planned.
Crews with the MJ Hughes Construction Company of Gresham, a contractor for the Oregon Department of Transportation, finished repairing the bridge over Jordan Creek where it meets with the Wilson River on Oregon 6 at milepost 18, and another bridge over the Wilson River at milepost 11.8. The third bridge repair was on westbound U.S. 26 over the Portland & Western Railroad tracks at milepost 55.7, just east of the Dersham Road interchange.
The bridges were built between 1937 and 1951, and needed to be strengthened to improve safety and mobility. Funding for this project came from the Oregon Transportation Investment Act.
