ODOT: MORE CONSTRUCTION
AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES
Oregon will soon reach record levels
of highway and bridge construction.
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.
