Project description  

This project will upgrade sewer pipes that travel over Johnson Creek at a bridge crossing. The pipeline upgrade is designed to withstand a large earthquake.  Improvements will include: 

• Replacing and increasing the depth of the piles at either end of the crossing.  This will provide a strong base for the span.  
• Replacing the existing pipe and enclosing it with steel casing. 
• Upgrading the manholes at either end of the span.  
• Securing the above ground manholes to prevent disconnection.  

Project status  

• This project is currently in the design and planning phase.  
• Construction is planned for late summer, 2022.

Project overview 

The City will be upgrading sidewalk ramps at intersections throughout Gresham. The City is installing sloped curb ramps to provide improved safety at pedestrian crossings. The new ramps will allow people with disabilities to safely travel from the sidewalk to the street.
