The new southbound Willamette River Bridge opens to traffic in late August. Special safety features will be visible to those traveling over or under the new bridge.
On the main span, unlike the usual concrete barriers on the sides of the bridges, the Willamette River Bridge will have special safety railing that will allow motorists on top of the bridge a view of the river below. The black, three-tube railing runs the length of the bridge over the river and connects to concrete barriers at each end.

Safety measures are also required where the new southbound bridge passes over the railroad tracks that parallel Franklin Boulevard. There, crews installed protective fencing on top of the bridge’s concrete barrier. This fencing includes solid metal on the lower portion with open wire fencing on top. It is designed to stop debris from the roadway above from landing on the tracks or passing trains below.
