Glanville for the degree of Master ofScience in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Historic Preservation to be taken June 2009 Title: CONDE B. McCULLOUGH'S OREGON BRIDGES: A TYPOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE DESIGNS AND THE PRESERVAnON OF HIS LEGACY Approved: _ LeIaI1dMRoth Oregon is recognized nationally for its collection ofbridges designed by innovative civil engineer Conde B. McCullough in the 1920s and 1930s. His concern for aesthetic value fostered bridge designs that are unique in their architectural details and enhance their natural surroundings. Unfortunately, several ofMcCullough's bridges have deteriorated with age requiring the Oregon Department ofTransportation to devise solutions which keep these bridges safe for public use and at the same time retain their historic quality. The purpose ofthis thesis project was to develop a typological study of his bridge designs, investigate the results ofstrategies applied to maintain them, and provide an analysis ofthe extent to which they sustain the historic integrity ofstructures they were applied to. It is hoped this study will help inform future decisions made regarding the effective preservation ofMcCullough's legacy. v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Abigail M.

  • A Wild in the City Ramble Lowe R Willamette River Loop Sellwood Riverfront Park to Oregon City Fa Lls
    Bike A Wild in the City Ramble Lower Willamette River Loop Sellwood Riverfront Park to Oregon City Falls Before setting out on this twenty-five-mile loop ride, Sellwood Riverfront Park 1 is worth a brief look. When I visited the site with Portland Park staff in the early 1980s, it was a heap of Himalayan-blackberry-covered sawdust, having once been an old mill site. It’s a tribute to the landscape architects who transformed a truly ugly landscape into a fine neighborhood park and a great place to access the Willamette. The funky little wetland feature in the park’s northeast corner, abutting the black cottonwood forest, has a short boardwalk from which you can see native wetland plants like spirea, blue elderberry, creek dogwood, willow, and wapato, and kids can catch polliwogs. Green heron sometimes skulk about looking for frogs, one of which is the rare north- ern red-legged frog (Rana aurora). From the park, I jump on the Springwater on the Willamette trail and head out to Milwaukie and the Jefferson Street Boat Ramp 2 , where there are great views of the Johnson Creek confluence with the Willamette River 3 and a distant view of Elk Rock Island. The route south is along the paved bicycle-pedestrian path that winds riverward of the Kellogg Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The short path abruptly dumps you onto SE 19th Avenue and SE Eagle Street. Ride straight south to SE Sparrow Street. All the streets in this quiet neighborhood are named after birds. At the end of Sparrow Street is the entrance to Milwaukie’s Spring Park 4 and access to Elk Rock Island.

  • Appendix O. Navigation and Climate Change Summary O.1 Willamette
    APPENDIX O. NAVIGATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE SUMMARY O.1 WILLAMETTE RIVER BRIDGE PROPOSAL O.1.1 Overview of Bridge and Willamette River The Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Project (“Project”) proposes constructing a new multi-use Bridge (Bridge) across the Willamette River, between the Marquam (I-5) and Ross Island (Hwy 26) Bridges, and between Oregon Health and Science University’s (OHSU) future South Waterfront campus on the west bank and Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) on the east bank.1 The Bridge will link vital employment, education, and research centers in downtown Portland, South Waterfront, and inner Southeast Portland with Milwaukie and Clackamas County. The Bridge will be a cable-stayed structure that accommodates light rail, streetcars, buses, pedestrians, and bicycles, and will be accessible to emergency vehicles. Buses, light rail vehicles, and streetcars will share a set of paved tracks in the center of the Bridge. Two, 14-foot multi-use paths would be on each side of the Bridge, separated from the transit vehicles and tracks by safety barriers. TriMet, in developing the design concept for the Bridge, conducted a detailed review of the many navigational, engineering, functional, environmental, transportation, cost, and public interest factors critical to the selection of a bridge type. This included a detailed assessment of current and future navigational needs beginning with the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) efforts in 2007 and 2008, and continuing through additional engineering for a preferred alternative, the selection of a bridge type, and the preparation of this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). These efforts included document research, field investigations, and outreach to navigational users and interests, coupled with an extensive open public process to review and refine various design concepts.

  • Conde Mccullough
    Conde McCullough Conde Balcom McCullough (May 30, 1887 – May 5, 1946) Conde McCullough was a U.S. bridge engineer who is primarily known for designing many of Oregon's coastal bridges on U.S. Route 101.[1] The native of South Dakota worked for the Oregon Department of Transportation from 1919 to 1935 and 1937 until 1946. McCullough also was a professor at Oregon State University. Early life Conde McCullough was born in Redfield, South Dakota, on May 30, 1887.[2] In 1891, he and his family moved to Iowa where his father died in 1904.[2] McCullough then worked at various jobs to May 30, 1887 [2] Born support the family. In 1910, he graduated from Iowa State Redfield, South Dakota, U.S. [3] May 5, 1946 (aged 58) University with a civil engineering degree. Died Oregon Career Nationality American Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge Buildings Yaquina Bay Bridge McCullough began working for the Marsh Bridge Company in Des Alsea Bay Bridge Moines, Iowa, where he remained for one year.[2] He then went to work for the Iowa State Highway Commission.[2] Conde moved to Oregon in 1916 and became an assistant professor of civil engineering at Oregon Agricultural College, and the sole structural engineering professor at the school.[2] In 1919 he became the head of the Bridge Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation, making him personally responsible for the design of Oregon's bridges at a time when the state was completing Highway 101. His designs are well known for their architectural beauty.[4] McCullough advocated that bridges be built economically, efficiently, and with beauty.[1] He helped design over 600 bridges, many with architectural details such as Gothic spires, art deco obelisks, and Romanesque arches incorporated into the bridges.[5] In 1928, he graduated from Willamette University College of Law and passed the bar the same year.[6] In 1935 he moved to San José, Costa Rica to help design bridges on the Pan-American Highway.

    CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR Hood River Bridge Replacement Environmental Studies, Design and Permit Assistance APRIL 25, 2018 April 25, 2018 ATTN: Dale Robins Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council (RTC) 1300 Franklin Street, 4th Floor Vancouver, Washington 98660 Re: Response to RFP Consultant Services for Hood River Bridge Replacement Environmental Studies, Design and Permit Assistance Dear Mr. Dale Robins and Selection Committee, For nearly 95 years, travelers have crossed the Columbia River using the Hood River Bridge, which connects Hood River, Oregon and the communities of White Salmon and Bingen in Washington state. While the travelers are diverse - farmer, hiker, trucker, tugboat operator, windsurfer - their need is the same: a safe, reliable connection between Oregon and Washington. Today, the Hood River Bridge is failing to meet modern transportation demands: deteriorating bridge members, combined with dimensional and weight restrictions for trucks, hamper the structure’s effectiveness and, quite possibly, the regional economy. The replacement of the bridge is a critical transportation improvement needed to support the interstate travel of motorized vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, and marine freight transport, which have significant local and regional economic and quality of life benefits. In 1999, a campaign to replace the existing bridge began, which then culminated into the 2003 Draft EIS, which was completed by Parsons Brinkerhoff now WSP. Following the Draft EIS, the firm conducted a Bridge TS&L study. From

The Big Creek Bridge is also significant as the work of a master, Oregon State Bridge Engineer, Conde B. McCullough, and due to its thematic association with the design and construction of several other major reinforced concrete bridges designed by McCullough and erected along the Oregon Coast Highway in the 1930s. Conde Balcom McCullough served as State Bridge Engineer, and later as the Assistant State Highway Engineer for Oregon from 1919 until his death in 1946. McCullough is significant for his use of innovative bridge technology, and for his visually appealing designs. He has attained international recognition for the large-scale structures he designed to span the major rivers and estuaries along the Oregon coast for the completion of the Oregon Coast Highway in the 1930s.
