A $1.3-million dollar project consisting of two bridge replacements was a joint effort by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the city of Klamath Falls. The two bridges replaced are on Eberlien Avenue and Wall Street, which spans over the A canal that furnishes irrigation water to the farmers south of town. The replacement of the Wall Street Bridge and approach road incorporated a snow melt system designed by Meredith Mercer of ODOT using geothermal for the street, bridge deck and sidewalks. Due to the location of the A canal, the Wall Street approach road has about a 13.25% grade to the bridge and can be very hazardous during the winter season
