Oregon's road quality has hit a 20-year low, with only 87% rated "fair" or better, raising maintenance concerns.

Oregon's highway system is seeing a decline in road quality, with the percentage of roads rated "good" hitting a low since 2001, according to ODOT's 2024 Pavement Condition Report. Though 87% of Oregon's roads are still in fair or better condition, many are at risk of deteriorating without proper maintenance. ODOT aims to preserve road quality through regular upkeep, but funding issues and aging infrastructure present challenges. The report stresses the need for proactive maintenance to prevent more costly repairs in the future.
