Greetings, The Oregon Standard Drawings on the web have been updated with the July 2010 revision. These drawings are for all projects going to bid after December 1, 2010. For projects going to bid between now and November 30, 2010 you will still find them active on the web page. We have included links to PDF files to download a full series of drawings. These files get quite large in size but should help those that wish to print their own copies. All of the 346 standard drawings are now available in both PDF and DGN formats on the web at http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/ENGSERVICES/standard_drawings_home.shtml We are hoping that you will begin to use the electronic Standard Drawings as your first reference for design and construction data. Many of the hard copies that are on book shelves have become out of date. We have included a subject index on line to help quickly locate the drawings you need. For those of you that have wished to remain on the list for hard copies updates we are honoring your request and will send you the updates for your use. The hard copies are being printed and will be mailed soon. If you have any questions, please contact me at 503-986-3738 or Dan McMillen at 503-986-3752. David Joe Polly, P.E., P.L.S., W.R.E.
