Souvenirs for the future

From ODOT-

As crews were finishing the new southbound bridge, they wanted to add to this lasting legacy and introduce future generations to the men and women who built the bridge.




Our contractor, Hamilton, initiated the effort to leave a time capsule in the anti-access walls of the arches.



The bridge workers were invited to leave anything they wanted in the time capsule. Some left personal items, such as business cards or pictures of themselves. Other items included:


  • An edition of the Register-Guard featuring an article about the project.

  • A CD of construction pictures.

  • A DVD featuring a technical video showing how the arches were built.

  • Some work schedule calendars.




It’s fun to imagine what people will think when they find these souvenirs in a hundred or so years when they replace these bridges.









Bob Vaughn, Hamilton foreman, displays the time capsule, then places it in the bridge arch.
