The 69th Avenue bridge has been replaced with a wider concrete structure with two travel lanes, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities for increased safety. The new bridge was designed to protect fish passage and preserve the waterway. Bridge construction requires a road closure during construction.
The previous NE 69th Avenue (formerly 227th Avenue) bridge over Rock Creek was a decaying six-span timber structure built in the 1960s. The bridge was decaying and restricted to one lane of traffic and weight limited to 13 tons as of September 2016.
This $3.5 million bridge replacement project is funded through the Washington County Road Fund and is in partnership with the city of Hillsboro.
Construction start (expected): 1/3/22
Construction finish (expected): 2/11/22
Update
69th Avenue has been paved and striped. The road is expected to reopen on June 26, after guard rails and pedestrian safety rails have been completed.
