OR 34: McKinney Slough Bridge Replacement
An existing bridge near milepost 1.5 is being replaced with a new structure. This new structure will be constructed one half at a time. Due to limited working space one lane of traffic will be closed for the duration of the project.
The South half of the new structure is now complete and crews have begun work on constructing the North half of the structure. One lane, two way traffic has been routed onto the completed half bridge. Traffic is controlled by a temporary signal or flaggers at all times. Expect minor delays.

U.S. 101: Yaquina Bay Bridge Painting
This project will paint the steel bridge members under the roadway deck in two spans of the steel structure. These members are in need of additional protection from the harsh coastal environment.
Most of the work will be done under the bridge with no impact to traffic. There will be occasional nighttime lane closures to set up containment under the bridge and move equipment. Intermittent night work will continue with lane closures allowed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. The eastern sidewalk is closed for the duration of the project. A temporary pedestrian crossing at the south end of the bridge will allow pedestrians to cross U.S. 101. At the north end, pedestrians can use the existing sidewalks under the bridge, which will be signed as the pedestrian detour route. This project is expected to last until October 2019. Expect minor delays.
