A new Long Span bridge has been recommended as the preferred alternative by the project’s Community Task Force. The preferred alternative was supported by 88% of the public who took a survey in 2020. The Task Force recently recommended a range of bridge types be evaluated before one is recommended this spring. Bridge types need to be selected for the center movable span and the adjoining approach spans that will touch down on the east and west sides of the Willamette River:
