Repairs to the Lone Rock Bridge on Oregon Highway 138 at milepost 22, about 19 miles east of Roseburg will restrict lanes to a maximum of 8 feet, six inches beginning Wednesday and running through mid-December.
The restrictions will be in place for eastbound and westbound traffic at different times. There will be windows of opportunity for wider loads to use the bridge. However, truckers will need to call Oregon's Department of Transportation (ODOT) Permits at (503) 378-0000 for dates and times.
Except for a three- or four-day stretch when work prohibits wide loads altogether, and cure periods when heavy loads must be excluded from the structure, ODOT will be able to issue single trip permits for wide loads crossing the bridge, dependent upon approval of the project manager.
Call ODOT Permits at the above number, and give more than two days' notice.
Annual permit holders for loads up to 12 feet in width should note that annual permit use of the bridge is suspended during the project.
Drivers will need a single trip permit in order to use the bridge.
Call ODOT Permits for information about available times to cross the bridge. Questions about the restriction should be directed to Rick Rogers at ODOT Motor Carrier Transportation Division at (503) 378-5835
Crews will be doing a deck overlay on the structure, building end panels and replacing rail on both sides of the bridge.
