We serve on the BBAC as volunteers who have our city’s best interests in mind. With helpful support from the Director and her staff, we have spent many hours over the last five months reviewing the Bureau’s obligations and deliberating over its budget and strategy priorities. Together we have arrived at the following recommendations. Investment Strategy: The Bureau’s proposed Investment Strategy prioritizes funding projects that address three primary concerns: maintaining existing assets, managing for growth, and advancing safety. Underlying the selection and evaluation process is the Bureau’s laudable focus on equity. We support the adoption of this “triple-win” strategy. We are pleased to see safety and equity as top priorities of the Director and her staff. The City has been allocated transportation funding as a result of the Oregon Legislature passing the historic Oregon Transportation Package in House Bill 2017.

  • Ross Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project Frequently Asked Questions

    Ross Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project Frequently Asked Questions

    Ross Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project Frequently Asked Questions What does the project involve? Starting in October 2014, contractors will remove about 250 deteriorating rivets and upgrade the steels members. This first phase will take six to eight weeks to complete. In the spring of 2015, crews will begin preparations to paint the bridge. This involves stripping old paint down to the bare steel, treating the bare steel for rust and then applying the new paint. Why paint the Ross Island Bridge? The paint on the U.S. 26 Willamette River Bridge (Ross Island Bridge) has deteriorated and no longer provides the necessary corrosion protection and aesthetic appearance. The bridge was last painted in 1967. This work will preserve its structural integrity and help extend its useful life. Why do the rivets need to be removed? Many of the rivets haven’t been replaced since the bridge opened in 1926 and are being removed because of rust and corrosion. Removing and replacing the rivets will help strengthen the bridge, preserve its structural stability and extend its service life. What’s the schedule? Rivet removal will take place in the fall of 2014 and will require six to eight weeks to complete. The painting will take place in the dry season, spring to fall, in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2017, although the schedule is subject to change due to weather and site conditions. What are the work hours? The rivet work will occur during the day between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
