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.
