  • Background Region 1 Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland
    Oregon Department of Transportation Background Region 1 Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland 1. What type of bad weather equipment does ODOT have (# of snowplows, gravel droppers, etc)? In the Portland metro area, including Mount Hood, I-84 to Hood River, U.S. 30 through Clatskanie and the Sunset Highway past Manning: 120 maintenance personnel (plus additional others who used to be in maintenance and still volunteer, when needed!); 50+ dump trucks mounted with (a) snow plow; or (b) sand spreader; or (c) chemical de-icing agent spreader; or (d) some combination of the other three. ODOT also has about a half dozen road graders, used in the winter to plow snow and remove ice. And, to nitpick a point: ODOT doesn’t spread gravel; we spread sand. Please see #3 & footnote! For updated information on highway work and current travel information throughout Oregon, visit www.tripcheck.com or call the Oregon road report at 511 or (800) 977-6368 Visit the ODOT News Media Center at www.oregon.gov/ODOT/COMM/ Background: Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland Page 2 2. What roads create the most problems for drivers when the weather is icy or snowy? In the Portland metro area, four sections of roadway traditionally see the most trouble from ice, snow and extreme cold: a. Sylvan Hill on U.S. 26, both directions—but people have more trouble going uphill; b. Breeze Hill on northbound Interstate 5—the area where there’s an extra truck lane from Oregon 99W up and over the hill toward that long straight-away before you get into the Terwilliger Curves; and c.

  • Ross Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project Frequently Asked Questions
    Ross Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project Frequently Asked Questions What does the project involve? Starting in October 2014, contractors will remove about 250 deteriorating rivets and upgrade the steels members. This first phase will take six to eight weeks to complete. In the spring of 2015, crews will begin preparations to paint the bridge. This involves stripping old paint down to the bare steel, treating the bare steel for rust and then applying the new paint. Why paint the Ross Island Bridge? The paint on the U.S. 26 Willamette River Bridge (Ross Island Bridge) has deteriorated and no longer provides the necessary corrosion protection and aesthetic appearance. The bridge was last painted in 1967. This work will preserve its structural integrity and help extend its useful life. Why do the rivets need to be removed? Many of the rivets haven’t been replaced since the bridge opened in 1926 and are being removed because of rust and corrosion. Removing and replacing the rivets will help strengthen the bridge, preserve its structural stability and extend its service life. What’s the schedule? Rivet removal will take place in the fall of 2014 and will require six to eight weeks to complete. The painting will take place in the dry season, spring to fall, in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2017, although the schedule is subject to change due to weather and site conditions. What are the work hours? The rivet work will occur during the day between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Portland is notable for having almost 6,000-acre Forest Park, the fi fth-largest municipal park in the country. At the same time, master planning efforts have given equal attention to livability and open space within the city, so that Portland today boasts a total of 247 parks and recreational sites including 196 neighborhood parks. Today, Portland is renowned for the efforts it has made to integrate public infrastruc- ture in the name of livability and planning for the future. Attention to the environment and specifi cally to open space are at the heart of these planning efforts, which in- clude the completion and expansion of Portland’s original park systems plan, known as the Forty-Mile Loop.Yet at the same time, Portlands facilities are aging and require attention if they are to meet the needs of an expanding population.
