Impacts parts of Clatsop and Columbia counties

MIST— A highway construction project that includes the paving of sections of OR 47 and OR 202 in Clatsop and Columbia counties will cause some travel delays beginning Monday, June 1.

The project also includes the grinding out of the old pavement and guardrail replacement. It will cover OR 202 and OR 47 from milepost 39 at Birkenfeld to milepost 52 in the Mist-Natal area.   OR 202 and OR 47 come together at Mist so this is a contiguous project and the mileposts carry in sequence from one highway to the other.

There will be intermittent daytime lane closures from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. with flaggers controlling two-way traffic. The project will take up to two weeks to complete.

VMS signs have been in place at key locations to notify area travelers of the upcoming work.

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