Glimpses at
Highway
History
By RALPH WATSON
Public Relations Consultant
Oregon State Highway Comm.
The 1947-48 biennium saw the
highway commission handle the
largest construction program in
its history. During 1944-45 the
work of the commission was
largely confined to projects of
military need and importance
and to such maintenance work
as could be done with the per
sonnel, supplies and equipment
available. In October, 1945 clear
ance was given on the federal aid
postwar program and work was
put under way on state financed
projects which had been held up
by wartime restrictions. Up to
June 30, 1946 contracts had been
let totalling approximately $13,
742,000, while several major con
struction projects had been re
jected because bids were too high,
among them the Troutdale-Wah-keena
Creek section of the new
Columbia River highway align
ment and the Front Avenue de
velopment in oPrtland.
Ben R. Chandler of Coos Bay,
present chairman of the commis
sion, was appointed October 1,
1946 to succeed Commissioner
Merle R. Chessman of Astoria
following his untimely death.
Commencing in October, 1945
the commission turned its at
tention away from chiefly war
time activities to the task of re
conversion to peacetime opera
tions. Engineers whffhad been in
military service commenced re
turning to their old positions with
the commission and the task of
rebuilding the field forces to re
place those who turned to the
greatly increased demands of pri.
vate industry was carried for
ward. During 1947-48 the commission
completed 112 highway construc
tion projects of all classes and
built 79 bridges, as compared
with 53 projects and 9 bridges
during the previous biennium. In
1947-48 a total of 1,438 miles of
highway construction was done
compared with 453 miles in the
prior two years.
In addition to construction the
maintenance division of the com
mission faced a greatly increased
task, having 7,268 miles of high
ways iind 2,400 bridges to keep
:n good condition under the aug
menled demands of modern traf
fic, due to greater speed, heavier
loads and equipment, growing
population and industrial trans
port demands.
