Exciting changes for the project team

From ODOT-

I like change because of the opportunity it brings. We’re happy that two of our very own have the chance to take on new roles and assignments within ODOT.



I’d like to thank Sonny Chickering for his hard work on the Willamette River Bridge project as the Area Manager. Sonny, now the ODOT Northwest (Region 2) Manager, oversees Clatsop, Tillamook, Columbia, western Washington, Lincoln, Coos, Yamhill, Polk, Marion, Benton, Linn and Lane counties.



With Sonny’s new position, we welcome Frannie Brindle to the Willamette River Bridge project team. Previously ODOT’s Geo-Environmental Natural Resource Manager, Frannie will assume the role of ODOT Area 5 Manager here in Springfield. She’ll focus on stakeholder involvement and work closely with the Design Enhancement Steering Committee, Citizen Advisory Group, Project Development Team and local government bodies. Frannie will also be our newest team blogger.



Congratulations to you both and welcome, Frannie!
