Interstate Bridge Replacement Program December 2019 Progress Report
Interstate Bridge Replacement Program December 2019 Progress Report December 2019 Progress Report i This page intentionally left blank. ii Interstate Bridge Replacement Program December 2, 2019 (Electronic Transmittal Only) The Honorable Governor Inslee The Honorable Kate Brown WA Senate Transportation Committee Oregon Transportation Commission WA House Transportation Committee OR Joint Committee on Transportation Dear Governors, Transportation Commission, and Transportation Committees: On behalf of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), we are pleased to submit the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program status report, as directed by Washington’s 2019-21 transportation budget ESHB 1160, section 306 (24)(e)(iii). The intent of this report is to share activities that have lead up to the beginning of the biennium, accomplishments of the program since funding was made available, and future steps to be completed by the program as it moves forward with the clear support of both states. With the appropriation of $35 million in ESHB 1160 to open a project office and restart work to replace the Interstate Bridge, Governor Inslee and the Washington State Legislature acknowledged the need to renew efforts for replacement of this aging infrastructure. Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) directed ODOT to coordinate with WSDOT on the establishment of a project office. The OTC also allocated $9 million as the state’s initial contribution, and Oregon Legislative leadership appointed members to a Joint Committee on the Interstate Bridge. These actions demonstrate Oregon’s agreement that replacement of the Interstate 5 Bridge is vital. As is conveyed in this report, the program office is working to set this project up for success by working with key partners to build the foundation as we move forward toward project development. -

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. -

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. -
Background Region 1 Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland
Oregon Department of Transportation Background Region 1 Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland 1. What type of bad weather equipment does ODOT have (# of snowplows, gravel droppers, etc)? In the Portland metro area, including Mount Hood, I-84 to Hood River, U.S. 30 through Clatskanie and the Sunset Highway past Manning: 120 maintenance personnel (plus additional others who used to be in maintenance and still volunteer, when needed!); 50+ dump trucks mounted with (a) snow plow; or (b) sand spreader; or (c) chemical de-icing agent spreader; or (d) some combination of the other three. ODOT also has about a half dozen road graders, used in the winter to plow snow and remove ice. And, to nitpick a point: ODOT doesn’t spread gravel; we spread sand. Please see #3 & footnote! For updated information on highway work and current travel information throughout Oregon, visit www.tripcheck.com or call the Oregon road report at 511 or (800) 977-6368 Visit the ODOT News Media Center at www.oregon.gov/ODOT/COMM/ Background: Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland Page 2 2. What roads create the most problems for drivers when the weather is icy or snowy? In the Portland metro area, four sections of roadway traditionally see the most trouble from ice, snow and extreme cold: a. Sylvan Hill on U.S. 26, both directions—but people have more trouble going uphill; b. Breeze Hill on northbound Interstate 5—the area where there’s an extra truck lane from Oregon 99W up and over the hill toward that long straight-away before you get into the Terwilliger Curves; and c. -

After 17 yr of service, the bridge, which was opened to traffic in Prior to and after award of the contract, surveys were made 1966, had a badly worn deck and numerous deck expansion to determine the extent of work needed to be done. (Overlay joints in need of repair. The bridge has a daily traffic count contract was awarded May 10, 1983.) Both surveys found of approximately 86,000 vehicles. Because of lack of capacity of detour routes, complete closure to traffic could be permitted significant wear throughout the structure, with a number of only during night hours. To correct the deck and joint prob spans that had the top mat of reinforcing exposed and a num lems, a contract was awarded in May 1983 for a latex-modified ber of locations with loose angles at the joints (Figures 4 and concrete overlay and joint repair.
