Oregon City Bridge
The State Highway Department has been requested by the County Court of
Clackamas County to prepare plans and estimates for a bridge over the
Willamette River at Oregon City. This will replace the old suspension
bridge at that place which is too light for the modern traffic
conditions in that vicinity.
Surveys and studies of the site are being conducted at this time. In
this case, as is customary, the State Highway Department will furnish
plans free of cost to the County.
CLATSOP COUNTY
During the period from December 1, 1916, to November 30, 1918, the State
Highway Department expended in Clatsop County the sum of $344,387.23.
The work accomplished consists of 3.5 miles of bituminous paving, 22.7
miles of broken stone macadam, 1.7 miles of gravel macadam, 1.2 miles of
new grading, one covered wood draw bridge, two reinforced concrete
bridges, and 1-6x12 ft. reinforced concrete box culvert, all of these
improvements being on the Columbia River Highway between Astoria and the
Columbia County Line.
Astoria-Svensen Paving
On July 20, 1917, the State Highway Department contracted with the
Warren Construction Company for nine miles of paving between Astoria and
Svensen. This contract called for a 16-foot bituminous pavement on a
crushed rock base and with two-foot macadam shoulders. The contract also
included the grading of a section 1.2 miles in length about midway
between Astoria and Svensen, this section being known as the John Day
Cut-off.
