Transportation Maintenance Division

We don’t remove dead trees unless they are currently hazard to the traveling public. Dead tree removal is the property owner’s responsibility.

We can’t trim trees that are tangled with active utility lines. You’ll need to contact your utility service to do this.

We strive to create the safest possible driving conditions during inclement weather. Our top priorities are county main roads, providing access for emergency services and clearing designated snow routes.

During inclement weather, our crews run 24/7 to treat as many roads as possible. We recommend staying put during an ice or snow storm as the best practice, but if you need to venture out, check current road conditions and traffic cameras at www.tripcheck.com.

If you see safety concerns on our roads this winter, please submit a road concern report, or give us a call at 503-557-6391or email us at roadconcerns@clackamas.us.

Our crews only pick up deer and elk when on the roadway. If a small animal is creating a safety hazard, we will clear the road for safe travel. Please submit a road concern report, or give us a call at 503-557-6391or email us at roadconcerns@clackamas.us.

Our crews pick up Adopt-A-Road debris and reported illegal dumps once a week. Thank you for your patience as we place newly reported sites in our system. Learn more about reporting illegal dumping.

We produce wood chips as a by-product of cutting brush and processing vegetation along county roads. If you’d like to receive free wood chips, please complete the request form. We will contact you to evaluate the accessibility of your property. We accommodate requests as time and material allow. We cannot guarantee that you will receive chips, because they are delivered to the nearest site on our list when the truck is full. Your site must be able to accommodate up to 20 yards. Request wood chips.

Studded tires are legal in Oregon from Nov. 1 through March 31 each year. Learn more about using chains and traction tires.
