As we build the northbound Interstate 5 Willamette River Bridge, we celebrate many project milestones. The most recent is completing the final set of bridge columns on the northbound bridge.
 |
| The final columns-- on the north side of Franklin Boulevard-- rise above the roadway along the south bank of the Willamette River. |
 |
| The columns shown from the riverside stand alongside steel structures built to support the bridge falsework. The exposed rebar on top will connect the columns to the bridge deck when it is poured. |
All that remains is to remove the sheet pilings that protected the construction work from surrounding soil and rock. Once the piling is removed, crews will place additional soil around the base of each column to fill in the area excavated for construction.
Bridge construction will now focus on finishing the arches and building the falsework overhead to create the bridge beams and deck.
