Astoria Bridge work starts up again
“These guys have a
full summer of work,”
said Dave True, project
manager for ODOT’s Re-
gion 2 office which over-
sees projects in Clatsop,
Tillamook and Columbia
counties.
The major work of
blasting and recoating
the steel above the road-
way on the bridge’s main
span won’t begin again
in earnest until mid-
March or April and will
continue through the
summer.

Signs of spring are ev-
erywhere this week: birds
chirping, trees in bloom,
traffic flaggers and lines
of cars on the Astoria
Bridge.
Contractors for the
Oregon Department of
Transportation will spend
the next four weeks or so
setting up rigging and con-
tainments and doing touch-
up work in preparation
for another busy summer
as much-needed mainte-
nance on the 4.2-mile-long
bridge continues.
began in 2009 should be
complete.
Phase II is next and
involves painting all the
steel under the main span
as well as the two tow-
ers. It is scheduled to go
out to bid in November
and work would begin in
2016. Phase III, address-
ing all steel outside of the
main span, will go out to
bid at a later date.
Work on the bridge
could continue into 2021.
By some estimates, the
Phase I stripping, repaint-
ing and replacement work
alone will cost close to
$21.8 million.
