This project aims to ensure a safe and earthquake-ready bridge over the Willamette River on eastbound OR 34. There are lane and shoulder closures on NW Van Buren Avenue. Eastbound traffic is using the new temporary detour bridge.
Visitors and community members should be aware that traffic leaving Corvallis across the Van Buren Bridge will be backed up more than usual during rush hour. Our rush hour is approximately 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. We strongly advise visitors and community members who are able to do so to avoid and/or delay leaving Corvallis via the Van Buren Bridge until later in the afternoon or evening. It would be a great time to pop into a local restaurant for a snack, or to visit one of our many beautiful city parks.
