From ODOT- Welcome to the Oregon Department of Transportation's first agency blog. I'm Dick Upton, ODOT's project manager for the Interstate 5 Willamette River Bridge replacement project.
As construction work continues, the project team and I promise to keep you updated, informed and I hope even a little entertained by what you read here. We invite you to ask questions and give us comments and feedback along the way.
ODOT is replacing the old I-5 bridge across the Willamette River between the cities of Eugene and Springfield. This is the biggest bridge replacement project ODOT has ever built.
When it's finished in late 2013, the new bridge will keep I-5 traffic moving safely over the Willamette River for the next 100 years and significantly protect and improve the river's health. As part of our commitment to the Eugene-Springfield communities, ODOT also is improving the park lands adjacent to the bridge to enhance the natural habitat and improve mobility for park path users.
We hope you'll like the end result and appreciate our efforts to be a good neighbor during construction.
While this is a moderated blog (please read our blog use and comment policy), I encourage you to post your thoughts and questions- either about what you read here or what you see as you drive, walk or ride your bike past the work zone.
Joining me in posting to the WRB Blog will be Jyll Smith, Public Affairs- Major Project Branch, ODOT. Jyll's current responsibilities include other major ODOT projects, but her ongoing knowledge about the WRB project uniquely prepares her to post to this site.
