The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will be closing the Old Youngs Bay Bridge on U.S. 101 Business (also known locally as Alternate 101), from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. each evening on May 24-27 as part of the deck replacement project scheduled to start June 4.
This is an engineer’s estimate of the time it will take to install a work platform under the double bascule lift spans. The work platform will give ODOT crews and contractors a working surface to walk on during June 4-20 when they replace the deteriorating roadway deck.
The planned deck replacement during June 4-20 will be a full 24-7 bridge closure. Motorists will use U.S. 101 as the detour route.
The drawbridge, built in 1921, has been closed to marine traffic from May 1 to June 30. ODOT plans to replace the current deck with a conventional open steel grid decking system.
