OREGON DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION (ODOT): U.S. 101 Astoria-Megler Bridge work begins Nov. 10th

You may see us in the area next week

Heads up Astoria – we may have crews in the area as early as next week to start setting up the work zone for maintenance repairs on the Astoria-Megler Bridge.

You can expect:

Crews working during the day, Monday through Thursday and until noon on Fridays.
Daytime single lane closure with flaggers helping direct traffic.
A temporary work platform under the bridge.
Construction noise and delays.

While most of the work will happen below the bridge, we’ll need daily single lane closure for the safety of our crews and the traveling public.

We’re fixing and replacing damaged bridge bearings, which allow the bridge to move and flex slightly due to temperature changes, traffic and other factors without causing extra stress or damage to the bridge.

Our schedule may change. Visit TripCheck for the most up-to-date information on construction and traffic impacts.
