Road Work Alert

U.S. 26: 24-Hour Lane Closures Start After Labor Day

Plan ahead

We're making great progress on our project to replace the U.S. 26 Little Humbug Creek Bridge!

Our next step requires 24-hour single lane closures starting on 9/3 at about 6 a.m. through 9/30 at about 6 p.m.

You can expect:

Single lane closures with flaggers helping direct traffic.
Construction noise and long delays.
Barriers to help define the lane.
The open single lane to be 14-feet wide.

Vehicles wider than 12-feet need to avoid traveling through this area during the restricted days and hours or use authorized alternate routes.

Our schedule may change – visit the project webpage to learn more about what we're doing or TripCheck.com for the most up to date information on impacts.

About the project

The Little Humbug Bridge is along U.S. 26 and is more than 60 years old. This is an important highway connecting the coast to the Portland metro area. The bridge foundation is in poor condition and needs to be replaced.

We installed bridge supports earlier this year and are ready to remove and rebuild the bridge one direction at a time.
