Tigard Awarded $8 Million For Bridge Replacement Project (Photo)
- 09/09/25
The City of Tigard is excited to announce it has been awarded $8 million to help with construction costs for a new bridge over Fanno Creek on North Dakota Street.
The City of Tigard applied for the funding through Metro’s 2028-2030 Regional Flexible Fund Allocation. Regional Flexible Funds come from the federal government and can be used for a wide range of projects that align with the Regional Transportation Plan and related priorities. Every few years, Metro has an opportunity to help fund transportation improvement projects by opening a call for project applications. Through a competitive process, and with support from Metro, this project was selected as one of 10 award recipients.
The North Dakota Street (Fanno Creek) Bridge Replacement project is included in the funding allocation package largely thanks to the public feedback and support shown in the results of the online survey that took place this spring. Located just west of SW Tiedeman Avenue, the new bridge will include sidewalks and bike lanes, and will also be improved to withstand future flooding and seismic activity. Built in 1962, the existing bridge is a timber structure which lacks connected sidewalks and bike lanes, and has deteriorated over time to the point that it needs to be replaced.
The awarded funds will be allocated to the City of Tigard in 2028, and the new bridge is expected to be completed in 2030. The total cost of the project is estimated to be roughly $26.4 million, with the remainder of the funding coming from the Local Bridge Program (state funding), county transportation funding, gas taxes, and Transportation System Development Charges, which are fees paid from new development.
The City of Tigard will continue to engage the community on this exciting project as it moves forward.
