 It’s been almost 100 years since the Oakland Bridge began carrying traffic over Calapooya Creek in southern Oregon; in human years, that’s way overdue for retirement. The much-loved icon, built in 1925, will soon be replaced by a bridge that includes two travel lanes for vehicles and shoulders for people who walk and roll. Modernizing the transportation system is a priority in ODOT's Strategic Action Plan. Learn more about how we're replacing this historic bridge to keep multimodal traffic moving.
Corvallis Airport getting in 'tip-top shape'
Smack dab in the middle of the Willamette Valley sits one of Oregon’s busiest – if not the busiest – non-commercial airports: the Corvallis Municipal Airport. But it’s likely you won’t be flying in or out of there anytime soon.
The airport is used mainly by hobbyists, flight instructors, shippers like FedEx and UPS, corporate jets and medical services: to the tune of about 70,000 take-offs and landings every year. See how a recent Connect Oregon grant helped the airport with repaving, new signs and fencing, an improved drainage system and more.
