10. US 97 Safety Corridor: Bend to Redmond
Findings
Historical Crash Analysis Over the five-year study period ( ), 108 crashes were reported on the US 97 study corridor from milepost (MP) to
The Corridor Study prioritized projects aimed at reducing fatal and Injury A crashes as Short-term, Medium-term, or Median projects. Countermeasures included:
Installing speed feedbacks signs
Inlaid raised pavement markers
Intersection and/or segment lighting
Medians on minor street approaches
Restriping
Acceleration and deceleration lanes
Center median barriers
J-turn treatments

11. I-84: The Dalles – Fifteenmile Creek
I-84: The Dalles to Fifteenmile Creek
Repave 3.8 miles of Interstate 84 from MP 84.3 (near the Union Pacific railroad overcrossing) to MP 88.1 (Fifteenmile Creek Bridge)
Construct a bridge over Threemile Creek near MP 86.8.
Estimated Cost: $20-25 million
Will be complete by Memorial Day 2016
Emergency response plan
ODOT worked to communicate the project with emergency responders (OSP, Wasco County, Mid-Columbia Fire, The City of The Dalles, and D9). The most “restrictive” stage on the project was Stage 6. Prior to it, ODOT sent out information and held a meeting with emergency response. EB lanes, east of exit 87 would be an access issue if we had a blocking accident in that location, so there was focus on troubleshooting that in this meeting. There were a lot of good ideas and we settled on removing guardrail and building a small access point to the east of 15-mile creek bridge. The attached photo was taken just prior to the GR removal.
It never was used, but it would have been a good way to access an incident if there had been one.

12. Seismic Bridge Replacement/Retrofit
US 97: Climbing Lanes &
Seismic Bridge Replacement/Retrofit
US 97: Biggs Jct. to Spanish Hollow Creek and Trout Creek Bridges
