The pavement preservation project to cover almost 14 miles

SALEM— A project that includes the paving of U.S. 20 over the Santiam Pass begins this Sunday evening at 7 p.m. The project covers almost 14 miles from Santiam Junction (U.S. 20/OR 22) in Linn County (milepost 74.5) to Jack Lake Road in Jefferson County (milepost 88.2).

All construction will be done Sunday through Thursday nights, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. with two-way traffic controlled with flaggers and a pilot car. Travelers can expect up to 20 minute delays. The project will be completed by October 31.

The project includes: grinding and inlay of pavement with 2 inches of asphalt; new guardrail terminals; replacement of damaged signs; center and shoulder rumble strips; new deck joints and concrete overlay for the Lake Creek Bridge; and permanent striping.

The project cost is $7.8 million.

Know before you go

  • Paving requires dry and warm conditions. The work is weather dependent so there may be some nights when construction isn’t happening.
  • Stay informed and know before you go by checking the latest road and travel conditions and traffic alerts at www.tripcheck.com or call 5-1-1.
  • Stay alert and watch for construction signs and construction workers in the work zone.

Access for pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will be available and identified through or around the work zones.
