Oregon roads face decline as maintenance challenges grow

Oregon’s highway system is grappling with deteriorating road conditions, as highlighted in the Oregon Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) 2024 Pavement Condition Report.

The report reveals that while 87% of Oregon’s 18,000 lane miles of pavement remain in fair or better condition, the percentage of roads classified as "good" has reached its lowest point since 2001.

The report indicates a significant decline in roads rated as "good" over the past decade.
