Wind power is a key
part o f O regon’s push fro
renewable energy develop
ment. But the bedrock for
the success o f this energy
strategy is not wind, it is in
formed landowners, farmers
and rural property owners
who understand wind ener
gy development sufficiently
to evaluate their options and
make informed economic
decisions about what if any
involvement they wish to
pursue.
Northwest Sustain
able Energy for Economic
Development (NW SEED)
is conducting a series o f
workshops cosponsored by
USDA Rural Development,
in eastern Oregon to help
demystify the wind power
opportunity for the layman.
If you are a rural
landowner wondering how
viable and desirable wind
power is on your property,
this workshop will provide
answers to your questions
and help you make better
informed decisions about
whether wind is an option
you want to pursue. Daylong
workshops (8:30 a.m.-4:30
p.m.) are scheduled locally;

Construction to begin on highway
bridges in region
Contractors for the Oregon Department o f Trans
portation will begin construction in September and October
to repair or replace three bridges along the U.S. Highway
395 corridor. The bridges, built between 1940 and 1971,
are structurally safe but do not meet modem standards for
traffic loads.
This work is part o f the ODOT’s McKay Creek to
Silvies Slough Project, which will ensure continued safety
and mobility by repairing or replacing eight bridges in
Umatilla, Grant and Harney counties. Wildish Standard
Paving Co., based in Eugene, is the lead contractor. Con
struction for the $37.5 million project will be finished by
fall 2011.
Construction begins on three o f the eight bridges
in the project this fall.
* Replacement o f the Silvies Slough Bridge begins
Sept. 17. The bridge is located on Highway 78 at mile post
0.7 just east o f Bums.
* Improvements to the Birch Creek Bridge begin
Sept. 19. The bridge is located on U.S. 395 at mile post
15.3 in Pilot Rock.
* Replacement o f the McKay Creek Bridge begins
Oct. 15. The bridge is located on U.S. 395 at mile post 5.8
south o f Pendleton.
Work on the Silvies Slough and Birch Creek bridg
es is scheduled for completion in October. Construction
o f the McKay Creek structure will continue until spring
2010. Work to replace five additional bridges in Harney,
Grant and Umatilla counties begins next spring.
The contractor expects work on the Birch Creek
and McKay Creek structures will have minimal impact on
traffic. To replace the Silvies Slough Bridge, construction
crews require a full seven-day closure o f Highway 78,
as well as a single-lane closure for up to 14 days. The 14
days could be split, occurring just prior to and following
the seven-day closure. Flaggers will control alternat
ing single-lane traffic during this time; the total width
between barriers will be 16 feet. The seven-day closure
is tentatively scheduled for the last week in September.
Signs will be posted to alert drivers about actual closure
dates and detours.
ODOT’s information booth can be found inside
The Center, an indoor pavilion at the fair. An open house
will also be held at Sunridge Middle School in Pendleton
Oct. 7 at 6:30 p.m.
The bridge replacements and repairs are part of
the Oregon Department o f Transportation’s 10-year, $3
billion Oregon Transportation Investment Act program.
OTIA funds will repair or replace hundreds o f bridges, pave
and maintain city and county roads, improve and expand
interchanges, add new capacity to Oregon’s highway sys
tem, and remove freight bottlenecks statewide. About 17
family-wage jobs are sustained for every $1 million spent
on transportation construction in Oregon. Each year dur
ing the OTIA program, construction projects will sustain
about 5,000 family-wage jobs.
