New I 80 Bridge (Engineer recruitment program) Item Info

The new Interstate Highway 80 bridge that will span the entrance to the artificial bay that will be created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' John Day Dam Reservoir on the Columbia River at Arlington, Oregon, will be placed in use in June 1965. Shown in the lower part of the picture is the 15-acre newly prepared business section created by the artificial fill to elevation above the reservoir. The buildings in the center of the picture are not scheduled for demolishing until May 1967; however, access to the present temporary business district will be practically cut off once traffic is diverted across the new Interstate 80 bridge. With creating the John Day reservoir, the water will inundate the present temporary business section occupied by the buildings, and the new Arlington will be provided with a quay-type waterfront. The huge fill riverward is being used as a disposal center for rock and earth being removed in the grading of Interstate Highway 80 along the south-shore cliffs.
