The Oregon Department of Transportation is constructing a bridge in Echo that will replace the existing bridge over the Umatilla River. Crews are working on the center pier of the new 70-meter bridge. Construction of the two concrete ends of the bridge is complete. The new bridge design will fit in with the historical surroundings of the area. The new bridge will be on a new alignment while the old bridge serves as the detour. ODOT is realigning the roadway in part of the area because of a vertical sight distance problem. Motorists driving towards the bridge approach vehicles pulling onto the highway, which is a potential accident hazard. The new alignment will allow for safer travel through the historic section of Echo. The new alignment is between known archaeological sites so the new structure is in accordance with all environmental constraints. The old bridge is about 70 years old. The footings have been undermined due to high water flows. ODOT looked at widening and expanding* the bridge, but, because of the substandard width, the age of the bridge and the unstable footings, a decision was made to replace the bridge. The new bridge will be wider and includes a sidewalk on the upstream side. ODOT is rebuilding an irrigation canal structure at the bridge site. A box culvert will be built to Third flight: first low gross- replace the existing bridge.
