Gold Hill DUII Crash Closed Lampman Road Bridge Indefinitely
A single-vehicle DUII crash closed the nearly 100-year-old Lampman Road Bridge over Galls Creek in Gold Hill Sunday.
Due to significant structural damage, the Jackson County Roads and Parks Department has deemed the bridge unsafe and closed it indefinitely to all traffic.
Jackson County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the crash Sunday at 8:34 p.m. in the 1600 block of Lampman Road. The 27-year-old female driver was located walking away from the crash scene, and she displayed signs of impairment.
Field sobriety tests showed a blood alcohol content of 0.24%, so deputies arrested the woman for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants. Rogue River Police Department responded to assist.
The crash caused extensive damage to the historic steel truss bridge. Following an assessment, Jackson County Roads and Parks determined the bridge is unsafe for any load. The bridge is now closed to all vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic, and travelers must use alternate routes.
