A construction worker who was injured while working on the Feyrer Park bridge on Tuesday has been released from Legacy Emmanuel Hospital and is in good condition, according to Clackamas County's project manager Mike Bezner.
"I think it was a treat and release kind of deal," he said.
The construction worker, a member of the C.P. Contruction crew contracted by Clackamas County for the bridge project, was pinned between a back hoe and a piece of steel while working under the bridge on Tuesday afternoon.
The bridge has been closed since April, with construction originally projected to be completed in October.
Bezner said the project is "moving along" despite a few unexpected glitches.
"We hit some difficulties with the foundation, when we hit bed rock where we weren't expecting it," he said.
The crews are currently building the foundation, and Bezner said the project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2007.
