Replacing the Sellwood Bridge is Multnomah County’s top transportation priority. The Sellwood is the busiest two-lane bridge in Oregon. Unfortunately after 83 years of use, the structure has reached the end of its service life. It has so many problems the federal government gives it a score of 2 on a sufficiency scale of 1 to 100.
With input from the public, the county and its regional partners have recommended the bridge be replaced (see the Locally Preferred Alternative). Planning, engineering and funding work remain before a new bridge can be built.
In the meantime, join County Chair Ted Wheeler for a video tour of the Sellwood Bridge. Learn why the bridge has so many problems and what the County is doing to keep it safe until a new bridge is built. And visit the Sellwood Bridge Project website each month for the latest news on the bridge replacement project. Send me your questions and comments.
