Commuters and residents in the Oregon 99 area should prepare for detours due to the closure of Foots Creek Bridge. The bridge is set to temporarily shut down starting the week of October 21, for about a week, as announced by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). This closure is part of ODOT’s ongoing seismic retrofit efforts aimed at strengthening the bridge’s resilience against earthquakes. Travelers are advised to seek alternate routes and to be vigilant of the workers on-site.
