"Our Eight-Year Plan serves as a guide for the department's construction and maintenance efforts and allows us to ensure we are addressing as many transportation needs as we can statewide," ODOT Executive Director Tim Gatz said. "Our main focus continues to be safety and reliability, and we are working to enhance safety by improving interchanges, adding shoulders to rural two-lane highways and addressing bridges statewide."
