The City of West Linn will be closing the Cedaroak boat ramp in mid-August for construction of a new boat ramp after nearly nine years of planning, permitting, and preparation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#444444">The first thing boaters will notice is the removal of the asphalt, land clearing, and removal of the existing docks. Then the ramp will be demolished and the existing piles
will be removed. By the end of August, the new structure will take shape, including the new ramp build-out, construction of a new infiltration swale, new piles, rail installation, and the new parking lot and ramp subgrade.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#444444"> Construction is expected to run through mid-October, shortly after the fall salmon fishery opener.
