Trolley Trail Bridge Feasibility Study

Clackamas County is assisting the City of Gladstone, who received federal grant funding from the Regional Flexible Funds Allocation (RFFA), in studying the feasibility and location of constructing a bridge in the abandoned Trolley Trail Bridge crossing of the Clackamas River.

Studying the feasibility of replacing the Trolley Trail Bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists would provide a much-needed active transportation link across the Clackamas River linking the City of Gladstone and Oregon City, and become a signature landmark for the popular Trolley Trail.
