About Us

The primary function of the Road Division is to maintain county roads.

County roads are dedicated to the public by adjacent property owners and then accepted by the Board of County Commissioners to be maintained by the county.
The Columbia County Road crew is on call 24 hours per day to remove fallen trees, plow and sand roads, stripe and grade roads, manage vegetation along county roadways, create and maintain signage, or mitigate potential safety problems. Other functions of the division include implementing county ordinances, contracting large projects, obtaining permits for work in environmentally sensitive areas, writing grant proposals to obtain additional state and federal funds, and managing Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation funds. 

County Road District Maps
The Road Division is split into four districts. Generally, crews assigned to a district only perform maintenance on the roads within their respective district. Download maps of the county's road districts, bridge maps, and maps from the Oregon Department of Transportation.
