Imagine the wonderful Willamette view we will have as we walk across this historic Union Street Railroad Bridge when the walking/biking restoration is complete!The weather has delayed some of the construction activities the last few weeks, but we are anticipating an Opening Ceremony in late February. Friends of Two Bridges (this includes the projected Minto-Brown Bridge) is a committee dedicated to the completion and maintenance of these projects. For more information or to make a donation, contact Hazel Patton at 503-581-4939 or email her at ptn1363@msn.com.

Wonderful! Thanks Virginia
I"m looking forward to the new bridge (and the one planned to connect Riverfront with Minto Brown, too). Anything we can do to improve the options for non-drivers is a positive step for the people and the environment of Salem.
My bike & I will see you at the grand opening!
At the Vision 2020 bike/ped meeting today, folks in Urban Development shared that construction had been delayed at least 3 weeks with the ice & snow, and that the February date is no longer possible.
On another topic...the Adolph Block on State street will have a tour sometime in January - will SHINE post a note about the building and the tour?
Eric ~ too late for the January tours as they were today.
Next month I will begin posting the dates of Salem National Register Open Houses. They are listed on the Oregon Parks and Recreation website a month ahead and I will copy them with photos on this web/blog.
Thanks for the idea!
