Devils Lake Fork Bridge Repairs |
Construction starts early February
We're repairing and preserving the Devils Lake Fork Bridge that crosses the Wilson River on OR 6 near milepost 32.
When work starts, you can expect:
- Crews working during the day.
- Single lane closures with an automated flagging device to control traffic through the work zone between:
- 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday
- 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Fridays.
- Most of the work to be under the bridge.
- Construction noise and delays.
- The bridge to be weight-restricted for the duration of the project.
We plan to complete this work in 2026.

Semitrucks and heavy vehicles
If you drive a semitruck or similar heavy vehicle, you can expect this bridge to be weight restricted during construction to permit weight tables 2 through 5. Please review the Commerce and Compliance Division's Permittable Vehicle Dimensions and Weight Tables webpage to learn more.

 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.
Don't forget – there is a person nearby controlling the automated flagger assistant devices. You may not see them, but they are there to make sure traffic is moving smoothly.
Learn more about automated flagger assistant devices by watching our YouTube video.

About the project
The Devils Lake Fork Bridge is on OR 6, an important tourist and freight route between the Portland area and the coast.
As part of the repairs to the bridge, we're planning to:
- Remove the rust.
- Replace worn out or damaged bolts and rivets as needed.
- Apply a new layer of paint.
This work will help strengthen and preserve the bridge, keeping it in good working condition.
