U.S. 20 Landslide Repair – East of Sweet Home

Construction starts early August!

Project Area Map

Work Starting Soon

A construction project to make U.S. 20 safer is starting soon. We’ll be building a retaining wall, realigning and reconstructing a portion of the road and repairing damage caused by landslides.

This year we will install a retaining wall from milepost 56 to milepost 56.2 to help slow the slide movement.

Traffic & Construction Impacts

Beginning in early August and going through December 2021, expect 24 hour single lane closures. Traffic will be controlled by flaggers through the work zone. The travel lane will typically be 15 feet wide. You can expect:

• Delays from lane closures.
• From August 2 through August 13, 2021, the single lane road width will be 11 feet, Monday through Friday. Wider loads can be accommodated within 20 minutes.
• Construction noise.
• Flaggers between milepost 54 and milepost 57.
• A three day full road closure in September 2021, after Labor Day weekend.

Plan ahead – there will be a two week full road closure in May 2022, before Memorial Day weekend.

We have more work planned for next year and estimate the project will be completed by the end of August 2022. Schedules are subject to change and exact dates for closures will be shared as information becomes available.
