Bridge-Strengthening Work To Begin On 17th Street NE
- 08/22/25
SALEM, Ore. — Bridge-strengthening work on the 17th Street NE bridge over Mill Creek will begin Aug. 25. This Public Works project is expected to be completed in October.
During construction, traffic will be shifted around the work area. Please use caution while traveling through the work zone.
The project includes installing an access platform under the bridge, removing the asphalt from the eastern half of the bridge roadway and installing additional reinforcing steel.
This is the final of four planned Public Works bridge-strengthening projects using funds from the voter-approved 2022 Safety and Livability Bond. This work will strengthen the bridges to allow heavier trucks to safely pass over local waterways.
Drivers and pedestrian should use caution, expect some delays and follow traffic control signage.
