If you've driven in downtown Corvallis over the past couple of years, you've likely seen our crews working on the OR 34 Van Buren Bridge.

Our next step involves the Harrison Boulevard Bridge – we're installing a platform underneath to gain access to the drain and sewer system in the area. This platform is heavy, so while it's installed we need to temporarily restrict the weight allowed in the right lane.

A weight restriction in the right lane. Oversized vehicles that are above 98,000 lbs need to use the left lane when crossing the bridge.
