WHITE CITY - Highway motorists will get to drive through the new Oregon 140 roundabout early tomorrow morning, Aug. 26. Drivers will need to watch for traffic control changes. No turns will be allowed.

Drivers should slow down and use caution when traveling through this still active work zone.

Night time/early morning traffic should watch for flaggers and up to 20 minute delays through early Thursday morning. Our contractor is working on transitions from the existing highway onto the new roundabout.

For the next month this configuration will be in place until both Atlantic Avenue/ Foothill Road legs of the roundabout are complete. All paving, permanent striping and signing in place when the full roundabout opens to traffic.

Once the roundabout is complete, ODOT’s contractor will move east to the nearby Kershaw Road intersection to modify it over several nights to eliminate the highway crossing.
