Cornelius Pass Road Bridge project receives grant

100297-website-thumbnail-small_1 image

Washington County’s Cornelius Pass Road Bridge over Rock Creek project was awarded $3.41M in Local Bridge Program funds by the Oregon Local Agency Bridge Selection Committee. 


The existing bridge was built in 1946 and is not designed to handle freight traffic. It will be replaced with a single-span bridge with two travel lanes and wide shoulders. Design is in progress; construction is expected to start in 2024 and finish in 2025. 


When complete, the bridge will be transferred from Washington County to the Oregon Department of Transportation. The remainder of Cornelius Pass Road from US 26 to the Multnomah County line is already under ODOT’s jurisdiction.
