The US 20: Pioneer Mountain to Eddyville project is replacing the existing highway with a new section built to be three miles shorter & far more safe. The new roadway follows the existing route in some locations, and deviates in others. Widening the highway will allow interstate trucks to use the route, and more passing opportunities will be available than previously.
SALEM—The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) announced today that an agreement has been reached with Granite Construction Company’s joint venture, Yaquina River Constructors (YRC) to terminate the US 20: Pioneer Mountain to Eddyville Design Build contract. Terms of the agreement include that YRC will pay ODOT $15 million dollars, both parties will waive claims against each other, and the Notice of Default ODOT issued to YRC in March of this year will be rescinded. YRC will no longer have the contractual obligation to complete the project and will demobilize from the project site in an orderly manner. ODO
