SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 2017 3 A Bridge work to enter Larson named new School Resource Officer next span this week Crews are moving contain- ment structures south on the bridge as they complete span 9 and prepare to begin work on span 12. Construction hours are expected to run from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m., with limited noise generating activity over the next several weeks. Some touch-up work may be needed as cleanup on span 9 is finished. Expect lane closures during daylight hours. While most work is moving to the south end of the bridge, there will continue to be a staging yard near the north end. The Siuslaw River Bridge Cathodic Protection Project is repairing damaged concrete, replacing bridge railings and constructing sidewalk features at the bridge ends. A major portion of the proj- ect is to install cathodic pro- tection that includes a zinc sur- face coating to protect the structure from corrosion. Sandblasting the bridge and spraying the zinc coating are noisy operations that must be done separately, in contain- ment structures. The project is scheduled to be completed in March 2019.
