Governor Brown Says 205 Bridge Fix is Needed

Governor Kate Brown, accompanied by Oregon City Mayor Dan Holladay, toured the city's Abernathy Bridge and declared it in need of repair.

The 46-year-old bridge, which caries I-205 from Oregon City to West Linn, needs to widened and made seismically stable.

The Oregon Department of Transportation calls the stretch one of the worst stretches of bottleneck.

Brown said she hopes that fixes to the bridge will be included in the state transportation funding bill that will be proposed next year.

Before going to the bridge, Brown and Holladay went to Benchmade Knife Company.
