Meridian Rd: Abiqua Creek Bridge Replacement
Marion County received a State Funded Local Project (SFLP) 
grant to construct scour repairs and foundation strengthening at the abutments and piers, and to install new approach guardrails to County Bridge #2504A. These repairs were intended to extend the service life of the bridge by making it resistant to scour and the new approach guardrail will improve safety. A contract was awarded to Farline Bridge, Inc. After work began, some gently used bridge beams became available that allowed Farline to suggest a replacement rather than a repair at a cost that made sense and saved money in the long run. The road will be closed with a signed detour in
place for approximately 2 months during the Summer of 2025. The exact timing of
this closure has not been determined.
Funding
Total Project including engineering and right-of-way $2,617,500
State Funds $1,706,844
County Funds $910,656
