NORTHWEST Panel says bridges in dire need of repair PORTLAND - The state must repair damaged spans on the vital north-south and east-west routes most used by trucks immediately or face serious economic consequences, an Oregon Transportation Department task force says. Members of the Bridge Strategy Task Force plan to recommend a multiple-phase strategy to address Oregon's cracked bridge problem when they present a draft report Tuesday to the Oregon Transportation Commission The Oregon Transportation Commission, formerly the Oregon State Highway Commission, is a five-member governor-appointed government agency that manages the state highways and other transportation in the U.S. . There are so many bridges in trouble, and so many more trucks rumbling through Oregon, that it doesn't make sense to repair one span only to leave trucks to face other unusable bridges along the same route, said Tom Lulay, the deputy transportation director leading the task force. Inspectors have identified 487 state-owned bridges that suffer some degree of cracking. Of those, 309 are candidates for repair or replacement for a total cost of $2 billion. At least 30 bridges along major shipping routes have load restrictions and detour, some up to 120 miles. Truckers face similar difficulties with at least 43 bridges on minor routes. The bridges include 31 just south of Salem, 30 around Eugene, and 45 south of Grants Pass. The task force suggests replacing 155 bridges and fixing two bridges For the neighborhood in New York City, see .
