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
