The updated Sellwood Bridge continued to take shape last week as a series of steel arches were installed for the east span. The arches were fabricated by Thompson Metal Fabricators in Vancouver, Wash., and transported by barge to the construction site, where they were lifted into place and bolted to footings in the river.

Three of the arches, which each weigh up to 300,000 pounds, were installed last week, with a fourth scheduled for installation this week. The new bridge is slated to open next January, and full completion of the project is scheduled for late 2016.
