Bill > SB458

This bill requires the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to conduct a comprehensive study of a specific segment of U.S. Highway 30, spanning from milepost 49 to milepost 95. The study must include a detailed assessment of the highway's current condition, identifying specific deficiencies and providing recommendations for improvements that would bring the roadway to a "state of good repair." ODOT must develop a cost estimate for the proposed improvements and include any additional information deemed relevant. The department is mandated to submit a report to the Joint Committee on Transportation (JCT) no later than September 15, 2026, with potential legislative recommendations. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, and specifies that the bill will take effect 91 days after the adjournment of the 2025 regular session of the Eighty-third Legislative Assembly. This targeted study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the highway's condition and potential infrastructure needs in this specific geographic section.
