Stewart Park Drive Bridge Closure April 13, 2021

Roseburg, OR – The City of Roseburg Public Works will be conducting an inspection of the Stewart Park Drive Bridge on Tuesday, April 13^th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The bridge will be closed to vehicle and foot traffic during this time.

The Stewart Park Bridge is inspected annually, and is required by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). During the inspection, ODOT contractors will check the bridge deck, superstructure and substructure conditions to ensure that they comply with State requirements.

The bridge is located on Stewart Park Drive, and serves the south entrance of the Roseburg VA Health Care System. Northbound traffic to the VA will be re-routed west to NW Stewart Parkway and then into Stewart Park via W Stewart Park Drive. Southbound traffic will be detoured through Stewart Park to NW Stewart Parkway. Detour signs will be posted, and flaggers will direct traffic during the closure.

Please note that the bridge closure may affect drive times. Motorists, who travel to and from the VA, should exercise caution and drive slowly. Please obey flagger commands and detour signs during the closure.
