About

ODOT finished work to improve approximately six miles of U.S. 26 (Sunset Highway) by repaving in both directions from Cornell Road to the Sylvan interchange, including several on- and off-ramps.

We also repaired bridges and bridge joints in the project. Curb ramps at each repaved on- and off-ramp were also upgraded to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

Benefits

  • ​A new road surface will improve the overall quality of U.S. 26 and several on- and off-ramps, resulting in a smoother and safer highway for drivers.
  • Bridge joint work will help to preserve and extend the life of this heavily traveled highway corridor.
