ODOT will begin work on the Otter Crest Loop, Rocky Creek bridge preservation starting this month. The historic Rocky Creek Bridge, or Ben Jones Bridge, was built in 1927 along the coast just off U.S. 101 south of Rocky Creek state park on Otter Crest Loop. The metal can get damaged from exposure to the salt water and harsh winds. The work ODOT is doing is part of routine maintenance to preserve the bridge and keep it in service for many more years to come. Starting this month ODOT will begin work to put up a system to contain their work and help protect the environment. It'll look like they are wrapping the bridge in plastic. Residents and visitors over the next few months should expect some noise, delays and occasional lane closures with flaggers helping to direct traffic as needed. Crews will work from north to south removing old paint, making repairs and applying the new paint.
