State board blocks Pendleton to Echo road shift
Oregon highway officials clash over route choice for Pendleton to Echo. Benson opposes funds for travel along the Pen diston route and favors the river route to gain a grade for motor traffic. The river route would cost the county over 190000 and may shift state road work away from Pendleton. Local committees seek a solution to preserve county benefits while county voices argue against perceived unfair allocation.
