You can expect smoother roads along OR335 south of Helix in Umatilla County after our contractors resurface the cracked and deteriorating pavement. During construction, travelers will experience delays up to twenty minutes as flaggers and pilot cars direct traffic through the work zone. The project is scheduled to begin May 28 near mile point zero at the south edge of town, then continue south to MP 5.5, taking about a week or two to complete.

After paving, our maintenance crews will continue work in the area, adding rock to highway shoulders, fixing guardrail and repainting lines on the new road surface. This will result in occasional delays at times. Please slow down, be prepared for delays by planning extra travel time and give a friendly wave to the crews who are working to create smoother and safer roadways for you and your family.
