<div><font color="navy">The Oregon Standard Drawings on the web are now updated with the July 2013 revisions. These drawings are for all projects going to bid on or after <b>December 1, 2013.</b> For projects going to bid between now and including <b>November
30, 2013 </b>you will still find them on the web page.</font></div>
<div><font color="navy"> </font></div>
<div><font color="navy">We have included links to PDF files to download a full series of drawings. These files get quite large in size but should help those that wish to print their own copies. The July 2013 update file includes the subject index, a list
of the drawings that are revised, and all 40 revised drawings.</font></div>
