  • During COVID-19, we continue work on critical infrastructure projects like the Willamette River Crossing that contribute to the economy and support our workforce. We are working to ensure our contractors follow all safe work zone and physical distancing measures in line with Governor Brown’s directives.
  • Recent testing showed that the top layer of soil (7.5 feet) located at 1720 SW Naito Parkway has high lead levels. Workers are currently working on removing the contaminated soil. 
  • In April or May, you may see crews working on Water Bureau property off of SE Water Avenue near OMSI. At this location, we are drilling into the soil to better understand how groundwater flows through the site.
