Meridian Rd: Abiqua Creek Bridge Replacement
Marion County received a State Funded Local Project (SFLP) 
grant to construct scour repairs and foundation strengthening at the abutments and piers, and to install new approach guardrails to County Bridge #2504A. These repairs were intended to extend the service life of the bridge by making it resistant to scour and the new approach guardrail will improve safety. A contract was awarded to Farline Bridge, Inc. After work began, some gently used bridge beams became available that allowed Farline to suggest a replacement rather than a repair at a cost that made sense and saved money in the long run. The bridge has been replaced and the road is open, however not all work is complete. The project is expected to be complete in the summer of 2026.
