From ODOT- When ODOT completes its bridge replacement project, how many bridges will there be over the Willamette River? you probably think there will be two- one going south and one headed north over the Willamette. Actually, those are the most noticeable bridges to motorists.
There are two more bridges over the Canoe Canal, north of the river, that are also being replaced.
Besides crossing the Canoe Canal, they pass over a major east-west pedestrian and bike path linking the cities of Eugene and Springfield. These bridges allow local park users to enjoy the Whilamut Natural Area and move easily between the two communities.
Our contractors recently completed the bridge priers, placed the bridge beams, and started construction on the Canoe Canal Bridge deck. Pouring the concrete deck will begin mid August. Drivers on I-5 won't notice this work, but those walking or riding on the paths in the Whilamut Natural Area will get a very close look.
Make time some nice summer day to walk, ride or run on the Canoe Canal path as it passes through the construction site. We've provided a map to make your trip easier. Enjoy!
