Stewart Park Drive Bridge to close for rehab

ROSEBURG, OR – Stewart Park Drive Bridge will close to vehicle traffic for rehabilitation work starting Monday, Feb. 10.

The steel truss bridge commonly referred to as the “Green Bridge” will be closed to vehicle traffic over the South Umpqua River until Monday, Nov. 3, while a contractor rehabilitates the bridge. However, the bridge will remain open to pedestrians and bicyclists during the rehabilitation project.

Traffic control signs will be in place to detour motorists around the closure. Drivers can access the south entrance of the Roseburg VA Medical Center from Stewart Parkway, then traveling through Stewart Park to the VA facility’s entrance just north of the bridge.

The City appreciates motorists’ understanding and patience throughout the project, and asks motorists to use caution when traveling near the work zone or through Stewart Park.

Roseburg Public Works Department staff want to stress the importance of keeping vehicles away from the work site to protect workers’ safety and because of the difficulty for vehicles to turn around at either end of the bridge.
