As construction continues on the Whilamut Passage Bridge and surrounding areas, many people want to see the project up close. Imagine standing next to massive equipment and bridge structures in areas typically closed off from the public.
Last month nearly 30 people, including a local cycling group, took a tour and viewed the construction from the work bridge and surrounding paths. Hamilton Construction generously provides the hard hats and safety vests since this is an active construction zone and safety is a high priority.

Our team enjoys sharing the project with the community. In fact, this week alone we have three tours scheduled. One of the tours was led by our lead project designer OBEC Consulting Engineers. OBEC showed the bridge to students from Churchill High School’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics program as part of their engineering class bridge design project.
Touring the project is the best way to fully grasp the magnitude and complexity of the Willamette River Bridge project. While tour times vary based on construction activity and safety, they’ll continue throughout the project.
