An Oregon Department of Transportation contractor is continuing work on the bridge retrofit project on Rogue River Highway between the cities of Rogue River and Gold Hill.
ODOT officials said this project will replace the Millers Gulch, Birdseye Creek and Foots Creek bridges to improve earthquake resilience and public safety.
The contractor is currently working at the Millers Gulch Bridge with flaggers directing traffic with minor delays. This project is expected to continue for the next couple of weeks when the contractor moves over to the Birdseye Creek Bridge.
Around the middle of May, there will be a full closure of Highway 99 at the Birdseye Creek Bridge for approximately three to five days. During the closure, motorists are asked to find an alternate route.
According to ODOT, these dates are subject to change.
