September is National Preparedness Month, which is the perfect time to spotlight the seismic resilience benefits of the Abernethy Bridge construction project.

As temperatures soar across the state and we prepare for the hot month of August, the Abernethy Bridge Construction Project has taken proactive measures to safeguard the workforce from the summer heat.

This month, we’re exploring how the completed project will improve the safety and security of people who walk, bike and roll within the project area.

The I-205 Abernethy Bridge Project’s status as the Oregon Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) largest construction project in over four decades places it in a unique position.

This month, we’re focusing on a fundamental priority: the safety of the workers on the job site and the safety of the drivers traveling through the construction area.

March is Women’s History Month, and the month also features Women in Construction Week. With these designations in mind, ODOT salutes all the women working on the I-205 Abernethy Bridge Project.

Monique Allen and her company, ACMS Northwest, LLC, are using their expertise to help ODOT complete its largest construction project in over 45 years.
