Oregon Bridges Replacement Project
             GIS and IMS development lead for the ODOT Bridges Internet Mapping Site. The site, currently in Beta release, provides planners, managers and staff of all levels of agencies and private contractors involved in the bridges project, access to the spatial data, tabular data, project documents, and thousands of related photographs. Accessed via the internet. it allows the project participants to view the spatial data on multiple mapping backgrounds including aerial photos, topo maps, 3d topo maps, hillshade, and physical relief. It allows those users to select data, areas, or bridges by numerous query options and view related tabular, document, and photo data along with the spatial data.
