Update on New Johnson Street Bridge

After what seemed like a long time with nothing happening, construction on the new Johnson Street Bridge started in earnest a few months ago. Here is what has been accomplished so far. In the foreground, the wood-covered platform rests on a number of steel piles that I suspect will provide the foundation for the bridge. There are similar piles on the opposite side of the Gorge. I imagine that the bridge structure will be erected on top of the platform that rests on these piles. There is a good live-cam of the construction available on the website the city has devoted to this project - Click HERE. As well, there are a couple of artist's conceptions of what the new bridge will look like - click HERE.

    At the moment, it's very much a work in progress. The concept design looks interesting...
