What’s Happening Near You? Easily Track Progress with Online Tools

ByTom Atkinson

As cleanup work ramps up across Oregon, track what’s happening in your area or around the state by using ODOT’s two online interactive tools.

The first tool is an address lookup map. Type in your unique access ID to see the status of your property, as well as what documentation we have on file for you. Look for your access ID in the email or letter the task force sent you in December 2020. 

The second is a “look ahead” tool that predicts where our cleanup crews will be, up to three weeks in advance. It’s still too early in the process for us to make accurate predictions just yet, but as work ramps up, we’ll be able to predict timing and locations. When it’s ready, we’ll share it with you here, the blog, and the cleanup website.
