Project description  

This project will upgrade sewer pipes that travel over Johnson Creek at a bridge crossing. The pipeline upgrade is designed to withstand a large earthquake.

Improvements will include: 

• Replacing and increasing the depth of the piles at either end of the crossing. This will provide a strong base for the span.  
• Replacing the existing pipe and enclosing it with steel casing. 
• Upgrading the manholes at either end of the span.  
• Securing the above ground manholes to prevent disconnection.

Project overview 

The City is upgrading sidewalk ramps at intersections throughout Gresham. Installing sloped curb ramps provide improved safety at pedestrian crossings. The new ramps allow people with disabilities to safely travel from the sidewalk to the street.

Project impacts

During all construction activity, there will be delays and on-street parking will be impacted. We try to limit disruptions as much as possible.   

• Sidewalk closed.
• Bike lane closed.
• Construction equipment parked in your neighborhood.
• Partial road closure - flaggers may be directing traffic.
• Reduced on-street parking.
• Noise and dust.
