The new bridge will remove load restrictions and improve flood resilience while allowing all vehicles, including emergency and farm equipment, to cross, Linn County officials said.
- On Monday, Nov. 17, Matsell Park Road was closed at the bridge between Merritt Road and Hart Road, starting a closure of about nine months for a new bridge.
- Linn County says the project will modernize the bridge by removing load restrictions, adding paved shoulders and flood resilience with an expected lifespan of at least 75 years.
- Access to local properties remains available via alternate roads, with drivers asked to follow posted detours and not drive around barricades near Matsell Bridge Natural Area.
- Work is scheduled to finish by July 2026, and the new bridge will allow emergency responders and farm equipment to cross, improving access for those users.
- The replacement bridge is designed for multidecade service, with the rebuilt span expected to last at least 75 years and paved shoulders and flood resilience to reduce future disruptions.
