Clatsop County, OR. – Official Update: The Little Humbug Creek Bridge is more than 60 years old and is located on U.S. 26. The bridge is deteriorating and its foundation is in poor condition.

Schedule: Design: 2020-2023; Construction: 2024
Location: U.S. 26 milepost 8.2
Cost and Funding: Design and Construction: $6.37 million
The Little Humbug bridge on Hwy 26 is scheduled to be replaced in two stages. The most impactful periods of work will require a 24-hour lane closure estimated for 10 days in June. Work stops in July and August so traffic will not be impacted. It will resume in September.
Throughout construction the open single lane will only be 14-feet wide. Barriers will be used to help define the lane. Vehicles wider than 12-feet will need to avoid traveling through this area during the restricted days and hours, or use authorized alternate routes.
