OR 58 Salt Creek Bridge 

Traffic is shifting to the temporary detour bridge

We've been working on building a temporary detour bridge near milepost 43, east of Oakridge, that can be used while we replace the OR 58 Salt Creek Bridge.

We plan on shifting traffic as early as tomorrow morning, July 16, onto the temporary detour bridge. Use caution if you're driving through the area.

You can expect:

• Crews working during the day.
• Single lane closures as needed with automated flagger assistant device, also known as an AFAD, controlling traffic. Flaggers may be used to slow traffic down before driving around curves as they approach the AFAD.
• Construction noise and delays.

When you see an automated flagger assistant device, remember to:

• Stop when the light is red and the flag is down.
• Wait for the arm to be fully up before you start moving.
• Drive carefully when the light is flashing orange and the flag is up.

Funding information

While the funding crisis is having a profound effect on ODOT’s maintenance and operations, most construction projects will continue as planned. These projects are typically funded through separate capital programs, often with state or federal funds that are legally restricted to project development and cannot be redirected for maintenance or day-to-day operations.

Delays may still occur due to a reduced workforce. Fewer available staff for traffic control, inspections and project oversight could slow down timelines or introduce challenges in project delivery.

Pay attention in the work zone, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work. Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers. Remember that fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.
