Bend’s Hawthorne bridge design hits new roadblock
['Clayton Franke']
The Bulletin
What to do next will be the most pressing issue of a Bend City Council work session on Wednesday — more than one year after the city decided on a design.
One option is to pick a different bridge design that doesn’t require a pillar to be constructed in the median of the Bend Parkway, he said.
The city estimated the design would cost between $29 million and $36 million.
Part of Wednesday’s decision will be whether to pull money away from other projects to act as a safety net for the Hawthorne bridge.
A previous version misstated the amount the city of Bend has set aside from the 2020 transportation bond for the Hawthorne bridge.
