The O regon D epartm ent of T ran sp o rtatio n is distributing the Summ er 2004 Road Projects map so motorists can plan ahead and be prepared. With 121 projects listed on the map, this is one of the busiest construction seasons in recent history. The increase is fueled in part by *' the ' OVegiJn Transportation Investment Act. The Oregon Legislature passed a series of funding packages that raise $2.915 billion for highw ay and bridge construction work over the next several years. OTIA funding is contributing to 17 projects scheduled for this construction season. More road projects also means y o u ’re more likely to encounter a work zone. When driving through a w ork zone, please remember to slow down, be alert for changes to traffic patterns, and be aware of workers and equipment. In 2002, there were 305 traffic crashes, five fatalities and 290 injuries related to traffic in work zones. The c o n stru ctio n map is a helpful guide for general information about construction activity. For current road cond itio n s, in cluding c o n stru ctio n activity, motorists can log on to www.TripCheck.com or call 511. The Summer 2004 Road P ro jects map is available at several locations around the state, including offices of Driver and Motor V ehicle S erv ices, truck stops, welcome centers and ODOT offices. r C U ST O M ^ BAN NERS Any t i n Lots off Colors Locos & Graphics JUD Y RICKERT Come and share memories with JudyI Saturday, June 19th Heppner Elks Lodge, 2-5 p.m. Salads, Desserts and Funl Questions contort Iran Boll. 6 7 6-9666 or Marlene Prterson. 676-9466 H eppner Gazette 676-9228
