Repairs to a local bridge over Marks Slough on Tennessee Road will begin on Monday, May 11, according to the Linn County Road Department staff.
The Road Department anticipates completing the repairs within two weeks. The bridge will be closed to traffic for the duration of the project. Repairs consist of replacing two wooden caps and two headwalls. Upon completion of the repairs the bridge will be open to two lanes of traffic.
Last year, after reviewing recent bridge inspection reports, bridge engineers identified the need to shift traffic off a section of the bridge. This allowed the bridge to remain open to traffic until repairs could be completed. Bridges are routinely inspected to ensure they are safe for travel. Bridge engineers review those inspections to determine if any action is needed.
