Stewart Park Drive Bridge in Roseburg will be closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic during a maintenance inspection on Thursday, January 22nd.

A city release said the Depression-era steel truss bridge will be closed over the South Umpqua Rive from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. while a contractor with the Oregon Department of Transportation performs a maintenance inspection. The bridge may open earlier if the work is completed sooner than expected, according to the Roseburg Public Works Department.

The bridge was also inspected before reopening after a recent renovation project. However, ODOT still requires annual bridge inspections to be performed, in addition to inspections done during the rehabilitation.

The 327-foot bridge links Stewart Park to Fir Grove Park, and also to the south entrance to the Roseburg VA Medical Center.
