Road Maintenance Division

The Clackamas County Road Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining the integrity and safety of over 1407 miles of County Roads, 175 bridges, 1400 miles of road striping, 2398 miles of rock shoulder, 26,453 road signs and operates the Canby Ferry for more than 85,000 vehicles a year.

Additional maintenance responsibilities include processing over 5000 public service maintenance requests per year, 24-hour snow removal during winter storm events, maintaining 9400 catch basins, over 8194 cross culverts and over 242 dry wells, sweeping almost 380 miles of curb and maintaining over 656 (111,301 feet) of guardrail.  The Maintenance Division also oversees the Weighmaster Program and the Adopt-A-Road Program.

Transportation Construction Projects

Clackamas County is responsible for maintaining the integrity and safety of over 1400 miles of County Roads and 165 bridges in its 1868 square mile territory.  The County's transportation system represents a one billion dollar investment that must continually be maintained and improved to handle new demands.  The Capital Imporovement Plan and Program for the County documents both the 20-Year CIP Plan as identified by the Long Range Planning Group and the 5-Year CIP Program which are high-priority, funded projects that are executed by staff in the Engineering Division.

There are, at any one time, approximately 40 projects in active phases of planning design and construction.  The 20-Year Plan lists over 200 transportation improvement projects that are projects to be needed over the next twenty years.  However, current cost estimates show a $400 million funding shortfall for the anticipated project needs.
