OR 18: NEWBERG – DUNDEE BYPASS (Phase 1D)

OR 18: (Hwy. 39, Salmon River Highway, mile points 55.48 to 57.99)

 

This is a grading, structures, paving, signing and signals project developing the new bypass highway alignment connecting OR99W (Hwy. 1W, Pacific Highway West) to OR219 (Hwy. 140, Hillsboro – Silverton Highway), in Yamhill County.  This is the third contract for the multi-phase roadway connecting these two cities with a new route along the Willamette River.  This contract creates a completed two-lane roadway from OR99W (near Niederberger Road) in Dundee to a mid-way point at Waterfront Road in Newberg.

 

Much of the construction activity for this portion of the bypass occurs away from the current state highways. However, for the next couple weeks, they will be installing special art and screening on the new overpass bridge, signing and landscaping, just south of the intersection of OR99W, with Niederberger Road and Parks Drive, of Dundee.

 

The primary impact to the traveling public, during the day, occurs on OR99W, at the South end of Dundee, where Niederberger Road crosses OR99W, over to Parks Road. This week, there will be truck traffic, hauling material across OR99w at Niederberger Road and Parks Drive.

 

Motorists should also expect intermittent traffic delays on OR99W, daily, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and at night between 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Sunday night through Friday. Lane closures controlled by flaggers are necessary, at this location.
