Oleson Road Bridge Project Celebration is July 11

Join us for the Oleson Road Bridge Project Completion Celebration from Noon-2 p.m. Saturday, July 11, in the Western Pet Supply parking lot. Speakers will begin at noon. The new bridge, which spans Fanno Creek, is above the floodplain, eliminating the need for road closures/damage due to flooding. Additional improvements include bicycle lanes, sidewalks, street lighting, landscaping, and storm drainage facilities. This project was funded through the Federal Highway Bridge Program, the County's Road Capital Bridge Program, and the County's Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP).
