County-led bridge work on Woodburn Road and State 101 may require utility relocations

Woodburn City Council · March 17, 2026

Summary

Staff updated the council that the county-led Woodburn Road bridge project and a separate State 101 bridge/roadwork have returned for review; north-side easements and utility relocations including AEP were noted as outstanding issues with no construction dates given.

The council heard brief updates on two bridge projects that could affect local utilities and rights-of-way.

Ryan told the council the Woodburn Road bridge project "came through" staff review but officials have "no date of anything" yet; he said the county is handling right-of-way acquisition and that utilities on the north side must be moved before work can proceed. He also warned that easement work remains outstanding and that AEP and other utilities will need to relocate equipment on the north side.

Ryan also noted the SR-101 bridge project westbound near the railroad is being relined and resurfaced and that a water line runs under the roadway. He said that based on the preliminary plan the city's water line "was supposed to be good" and staff did not expect significant conflict but flagged the location for continued coordination with the state and county.
