Upper Perry Arch Bridge nominated for OCAPA Excellence in Concrete Award
Melissa Moncada, bridge engineer, and Scott Larsen, construction group manager, at Otak recently attended the Oregon Concrete and Aggregate Producers Association (OCAPA) Excellence in Concrete Awards gala in Salem. Upper Perry Arch Bridge, a project that Otak worked on, was nominated as one of only three finalists under the Historic Bridges category. The gala attracted designers and contractors from all over the state for an evening full of cocktails, good food, and the awards ceremony.
This unique bridge rehabilitation was designed by Otak and constructed by Wildish Standard Paving. The bridge was originally designed by the famous bridge engineer, Conde B. McCullough, in the early 1920’s. If you are traveling on I-84, be sure to stop by and see this beautiful bridge. From I-84 eastbound, take exit 256 (about 4 miles west of La Grande), follow Hamilton Creek Frontage Road until you cross over the bridge.
