Government Camp Multorpor Overpass Celebration

Monday, May 4, 2009

by Liz Warren

May 13 at 3:00 pm. the Clackamas County Board of Commisssioners will be celebrating the new over pass in Government Camp. This project was accomplished by the Government Camp Village Revitalization District. The celebration will take place on the North side of the Multorpor overpass.

The artwork is amazing on the bridge. Many panels were done by blacksmith Darryl Nelson. The new bridge notonly provides a backdrop of art but increases the access over to Multorpor which was badly needed with a dated narrow overpass.
