US 26 Mt. Hood Safety Project: Drainage and Stormwater Design
ODOT

With an average of 10,300 travelers each day, U.S. Hwy 26 is an important gateway to Mt. Hood for locals, trucks, and skiing enthusiasts alike. The goal of this $25 million, full federal oversight project was to improve safety and modernize a stretch of highway that has a history of severe crossover crashes, rock fall hazards, increasing traffic, and stormwater runoff into adjacent sensitive streams.

Working closely with ODOT’s Region 1 Geo/Hydro Unit, Murraysmith led the hydraulic elements of the project, including storm drainage, stormwater management, and erosion control.
