The OTIA III State Bridge Delivery Program is part of the Oregon Department of Transportation’s $3 billion Oregon Transportation Investment Act. OTIA funds are repairing or replacing hundreds of bridges, paving and maintaining city and county roads, improving and expanding interchanges, adding new capacity to Oregon’s highway system and removing freight bottlenecks statewide. Based on recent estimates, about 11 family-wage jobs are sustained for every $1 million spent on transportation construction in Oregon. Through 2011, the bridge program has sustained more than 17,000 jobs. Overall, the program will create or sustain approximately 23,000 jobs.

Slow down! Better roads ahead: Oregon remains open for business as ODOT modernizes the state’s critical transportation lifelines. Know before you go: dial 511 or visit TripCheck.com.
