In addition to projects already under way on numerous Oregon highways, the Oregon Department of Transportation is beginning an unprecedented level of construction on Interstate 5. Much of the work falls under ODOT's OTIA III State Bridge Delivery Program, which is repairing or replacing hundreds of aging highway bridges throughout the state. The surge of construction this summer and beyond is bringing opportunities for contractors and workers. Current construction has already helped boost Oregon's economy. At its peak, the bridge program is expected to sustain more than 5,000 jobs. The Guard began the project June 10 and will leave June 22.
