ODOT
message board installed

A technician
worked on the new ODOT message board last week.

Travelers heading westbound out
of Sisters will soon have advance word on pass conditions and other traffic-related
news.
The Oregon Department of Transportation
has installed a new, permanent message board at the entrance to the state
maintenance yards along Highway 20 at the west end of Sisters.
According to ODOT spokesman
Dan Knoll, the message board will carry up-to-date information on road
construction; mountain pass conditions (particularly in winter); chain
requirements and other travel-related news.
The $112,400 message board
was funded through the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
A computer activates the sign
through a phone line and modem, Knoll said. This allows ODOT Region 4
dispatchers to key in messages from the regional office in Bend.
The sign is part of ODOT's
statewide Intelligent Transportation System.
