SOUTH BANK VIADUCT--PROJECT NARRATIVE
Summary
In December 2009, the joint elected officials of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County approved a Metro
Plan amendment that included an exception to Statewide Planning GoallS, allowing for the construction
of the proposed Willamette River Bridge (WRB) South Bank Viaduct. The Metro Plan amendment and
GoallS exception established a legal foundation for the Willamette Greenway and Site Plan Review
applications that are the subject of this review.
The proposed viaduct will be about 16 feet wide and 1,100 feet in length. About 800 feet of the viaduct
structure is within Springfield's planning jurisdiction. The remainder of the viaduct is within Eugene's
jurisdiction, west of the I-S Bridges. It will connect to the South Bank Path at the point where it currently
diverts away from the river. The viaduct will elevate the bike/pedestrian path and move it out away
from the steep bank near the 1-5 Bridges, and return to the riverbank at a point where the path can
continue.
The proposed structure will hug the shoreline, minimizing its impact on the river. Supporting columns
will be placed adjacent to, but outside of the ordinary high water mark of the river to support the viaduct
as it bypasses the slope barrier. Temporary work within the ordinary high water mark will be required
during construction.
The Willamette Greenway Discretionary Use and Site Plan Review applications focus primarily on the
various impacts of the proposed viaduct and the measures proposed to mitigate those impacts. The
approved environmental permits for the Willamette River 1-5 Bridges are informative with respect to
assessing the likely environmental impacts of the viaduct.
In 2007, an Environmental Assessment (EA) was developed to assess possible Willamette River Bridge
(WRB)-related impacts and recommend mitigation measures. After the EA was published in January
2008, ODOT prepared a Revised Environmental Assessment (REA) that incorporated changes based on
public comments. The REA supported a Finding of No Significant Impoct (FONSI) which avoided the need
for a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and recommends proceeding with a build alternative.
In 2009, the consulting firm UR5 was contracted by the City of Springfield to conduct an analysis of the
viaduct that built on the work completed for the EA for the Willamette River Bridge (WRB) in 2008. In
late May 2010, URS completed a "B220 WRB South bank Path and Viaduct Project Implementation Form"
and submitted it to the various permitting agencies for the WRB, requesting tha~&~g!j.y@&.ct

.
be considered an extension of the WRB project and that the permits that were issued for that bridge
project be extended to include the viaduct. No comments in opposition to the submitted "Project
Implementation Form" within the required 3D-day comment period. The absence of comments from the
permitting agencies in response to the Form is confirmation the permitting agencies are in agreement
with the amending the original WRB permits to include the viaduct project. In short, the viaduct project
was found by the reviewing agencies to have "no significant impact" on affected resources and is
considered an extension of the bridge for state and federal permitting purposes.
Based on a review ofthe approval criteria found in the Springfield Development Code, findings can be
made which support a conclusion that the proposed viaduct project satisfies the review criteria for a
Willamette Greenway Discretionary Use Permit found in SDC Section 3.3-325 and 5.9-120.
SDC Section 5.9-115 states that "typically a Discretionary Use application is reviewed concurrently with a
Site Plan Review application. As such, this staff report includes findings which support a conclusion that
the proposal also satisfies the review criteria for Site Plan Review found in Section 5.17-125.
Project Description
The South Bank Viaduct (viaduct) as includes an 800-foot viaduct (an additional 300 feet ofthe viaduct is
located within Eugene's planning jurisdiction) that will be constructed along the south bank of the
Willamette River from the center of the 1-5 WRB, extending east to the Oldham Crane property, where
the pathway will meet ground level. During construction, the project impact area including staging areas
would be approximately 40,000 square feet (0.92 acres). This would include a SO-foot wide corridor that
would extend from the centerline of Franklin Boulevard towards the Willamette River. As part of the
construction, drilled shafts will require drilling to a certain depth below the ground surface and
constructing a reinforced concrete shaft underground. The excavated material will be contained and
disposed in accordance with Section 00290.20 of the 2008 ODOT Standard Specifications.
Work for the South Bank Viaduct will likely be staged from westbound Franklin Boulevard, requiring
closure of one or both lanes. It is likely that work platforms and falsework will have to be constructed
from Franklin Blvd at each bent' to construct the drilled shaft, columns, and crossbeams. Beam
placement would be from Franklin, utilizing two cranes. At that point, it may be possible to reduce the
Franklin closures significantly since work may be staged from the top of the beams. Any traffic
interruptions due to construction activities would be temporary and access to local businesses would be
maintained.
During operation, the 800-foot long, 16-foot wide pathway would be supported by 8 bents. Permanent
impacts would be considered limited to areas directly underneath the pathway, encompassing
approximately 12,800 square feet (0.29 acres).
Specific elements of the project include:
. A total of eight bents consisting of four-foot drilled shafts, which will be constructed above the
ordinary high water line (OHW).
1 BENT - A substructure unit supporting each end of a bridge span; also called a pier; made up of two or more
columns or column-like members connected at their top most ends by a cap, strut, or other member holding them
in their correct positions. Date Received:

+ Total length of the FVP extension is approximately 800 feet and 16 feet wide, with each bent spaced
approximately 115 feet apart. Permanent impacts to vegetation include the footprint of each bent and
the portion of the pathway supported by a retaining wall, approximately 1,141 sf (0.03 acres).
+ The surface structure would be 16 feet wide and would use recycled 1-5 bridge components for the
platform,
+ The pathway would involve the creation of approximately 12,800 square feet of new impervious
surface.
+ Construction would consist of building temporary falsework and eight platforms. These platforms
would be supported by multiple H.piles that will be pile driven. Platforms would be 32'x42', for a total of
12,096 square feet (0.28 acres) of temporary vegetation removal. Vegetation removal may not be
necessary however the total platform footprint is considered and may be overstated.
+ Minor amounts of vegetation, including trees, would be temporarily removed where the false work
would be constructed.
+ Rip.rap along the bank will be removed to provide an opening to drill the shafts and drive the
falsework, where necessary. The rip rap will be replaced beneath the viaduct for erosion control.
Riparian plantings shall be placed outside the footprint of the viaduct, between the structure and the
river. Grasses will be planted between the viaduct and Franklin Blvd,
+ Minor amounts of removal/fill would be required.

Supplemental Background
Eugene-Springfield has one ofthe largest networks of riverfront bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the
state. The current connection between Eugene and Springfield is limited to the north side of the
Willamette River. The extensive Willamette River South Bank Path system in Eugene ends at Interstate S
because of the physical barriers created by both the existing 1-5 bridges and the proximity of Franklin
Boulevard (OR 126B) to the Willamette River. Users traveling between the two cities along the south
side of the Willamette River must cross to the north side of the river near the I-S bridge or divert to the
shoulders of Franklin Boulevard (OR 126B), a high speed arterial street.
Many planning documents, including the Central Lane MPO Regional Transportation Plan, TransPlan, the
Glenwood Refinement Plan and Wi llama lane Park and Recreation District Comprehensive Plan, call for
the continuation of the Willamette River South Bank Path through Glenwood to Springfield.
Construction of the South Bank Viaduct is essential to the continuation and development of the South
Bank Path. The combined viaduct and path facilities will provide a safer, more pleasant experience for
recreational and commuter bicyclists and pedestrians traveling between Eugene and Springfield through
Glenwood.
The South Bank Viaduct has wide support from local jurisdictions and agencies. The following
jurisdictions,. agencies and communities have expressed support the South Bank Viaduct:
. City of Eugene
. City of Springfield
. Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPO)
. Willamalane Parks and Recreation District
. Springfield Economic and Development
Agency
. Eugene Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee
. Lane County Board of Commissioners

An ODOT Transportation Enhancement Grant of almost $1 million, together with $250,000 in OTIA funds
and about $140,000 in donated materials will be used to fund the South Bank Viaduct project. The
timing of the project will allow reuse of multiple concrete box beams from the Willamette River detour
bridge on the viaduct project. As the I-S replacement bridges are completed, and the detour bridge is
removed, the South Bank Viaduct will be constructed.
Public hearings were held before the joint planning commissions and elected officials for a Metro Plan
amendment and Goal 15 exception were required to as a precursor to these land use applications. At
these hearings, no public opposition to the viaduct project was expressed and the amendment and Goal
15 exceptions were adopted unanimously by the City of Eugene, City of Springfield and Lane County.
