The Umatilla County Public Works Road Department is responsible for the maintenance of all county roads and bridges in Pendleton, Oregon. With a team of 44 employees, including road crews, office personnel, county surveyors, and weed control crews, they oversee approximately 1700 miles of road, 500 miles of which are paved, and maintain 344 bridges of various sizes.
Funded through Gas Tax, Vehicle Registration Fees, and Forest Service revenues, the department is primarily focused on maintenance due to declining timber sales in recent years. However, they are actively seeking additional funding opportunities to support road and bridge improvement projects.
