In February 2005, the Oregon
International Port of Coos Bay completed Phase I of a
long-planned rail bridge rehabilitation. Total project costs
for engineering and construction was approximately $6.73
million, with funding from the federal government through
the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21),
the Oregon Economic & Community Development Department, the
Coos County (North Bay) Urban Renewal Agency and the
Regional Investment Board. Phase I consisted of repair and
replacement of structural steel components, rebuilding of a
support pier and installation of a new fendering system for
two piers.
Project Status:
The Port
has applied for $12.7 million in Tiger III transportation
grant funding for the Coos Bay Rail Bridge Rehabilitation
Project. This is the Phase II project that was postponed pending the Port of Coos Bay's
purchase of the Coos Bay rail line.
Phase II will consist of
additional structural steel repair and replacement,
application of a protective coating system and other work as
needed.
