Bridge Improvement Project to Begin August 1 on Linn Benton Road

A bridge improvement project is scheduled to start tomorrow, August 1 on Linn Benton Road south of Walford, near the Linn Johnson and Linn Benton Road intersection. The project includes a new surface on the bridge deck, new approaches to the bridge, grading under the bridge to reduce erosion, and new guardrails for increased safety.

Linn Benton Road will be closed to all traffic starting August 1. A detour will be posted for this project. The project is expected to last six weeks.

Motorists are reminded to comply with all traffic signs around construction projects. Do not drive around the barricades in place to protect the public and road crews.
