Stewart Park Drive Bridge in Roseburg will be closed to vehicle traffic for rehabilitation work starting on Monday, February 10th.

A city release said the steel truss bridge, commonly referred to as the Green Bridge will be closed to vehicle traffic over the South Umpqua River until Monday, November 3rd, while a contractor rehabilitates the bridge. However, the bridge will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists during the project.

Traffic control signs will be in place to detour motorists around the closure. Drivers can access the south entrance of the Roseburg VA Medical Center from Stewart Parkway, then travel through Stewart Park to the VA facility’s entrance just north of the bridge.

Public Works Department staff want to stress the importance of keeping vehicles away from the work site to protect workers safety and because of the difficulty for vehicles to turn around at either end of the bridge.
