Hayden Bridge is located in northeast Springfield, and carries Marcola Rd across the McKenzie River.  Marcola Rd is the primary access to the Mohawk River valley.  The Hayden Bridge Seismic Retrofit project will add structural elements to the bridge to improve its resilience to earthquakes.  Specifically, the project is designed for the bridge to survive and remain operational following a magnitude 9.0 Cascadia Subduction Zone event.

The project is funded by a FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant, awarded in 2023.  An engineering firm (KPFF) is performing the engineering design and environmental studies.  Construction is currently planned for 2024.
