The Heritage Area Coalition collaborated with ODOT to throw a celebration January 15th, 3-5 p.m., on the occasion of the two-year closure of the 1922 West Linn-Oregon City Arch Bridge. Look for the coalition to work with ODOT on an even bigger party when it's time for the reopening.

See "West Linn -- Oregon City Bridges" link in the main menu.
