Contractor fired from Oregon Department of Transportation bridge

Daily Journal of Commerce (Portland, OR), Jun 26, 2008

Citing shoddy workmanship, ongoing contract violations and a failure to complete work on time, the Oregon Department of Transportation has announced it will fire Ross Bros. & Co. as general contractor on the agency's $38 million Shady Bridge project near Roseburg.

Ross Bros. officials were notified last week about ODOT's decision. The company had no comment at that time, according to a Roseburg newspaper.

An ODOT spokesman told The Roseburg News-Review that the transportation agency has fired only one other contractor from a project during the past two decades.
