The Tillamook River Bridge was recently repainted as part of a preservation effort to extend its service life while maintaining its scenic setting. Spanning the Tillamook River, the bridge crosses a wide waterway framed by coastal forests and wetlands. The project included removal of aging coatings and application of a new protective system to guard against corrosion and environmental exposure.

The Challenge
Why Wasser
As a vital transportation link in Tillamook, Oregon, spanning the scenic Tillamook River and its surrounding coastal wetlands. The bridge carries daily vehicle traffic and is exposed to moisture, salt air, and changing weather conditions typical of the Oregon coast. These conditions make long-term corrosion protection essential for durability and public safety, while preserving the bridge’s appearance within its natural setting.
