We're working on the roads – check out what's being done!
Construction projects are underway across the state and even more are starting soon. Take a peek at what is going on in and around your community by:
If you have questions on any of the projects, the project manager contact information is located on the project webpage, which are linked in each story below.
OR 99 Urban Upgrades through Cottage Grove – construction starting August 8
We are changing the roadway to one lane in each direction with a center lane, replacing a signal, adding sidewalks and bike lanes, repaving and installing a new crosswalk. More details are available on the project webpage.
We are working during the daytime between the hours of 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. To start, we are closing the two lanes in the center, leaving one lane for travel in each direction.
Expect construction noise, delays from shoulder and lane closures and flaggers to control the work zone as needed.

I-5 Connector Bridge Repairs and Improvements in Cottage Grove
We are repairing the bridge deck and adding a new protective surface, installing ADA curb ramps and replacing the guardrails.
Construction starts later this fall. When underway, you can expect delays and lane closures. There will be detours needed as we work on different stages to repair the bridge. The project webpage has more details and will be kept current with construction information.

OR 99 Paving and Improvements in Junction City from 1st Avenue to Enid Road
We are repaving this section of road, installing centerline rumble strips, ADA curb ramps, and pedestrian signals as necessary.
Construction has started, expect construction noise, delays and lane closures controlled by flaggers.
To minimize the duration of impacts, we’re doing weekend lane shifts where we move traffic off of the side of the road we’re working on. The lane shifts are planned for several weekends, from 7 p.m. on Friday through 6 a.m. Monday. Closure weekends are: August 5 - August 8; August 19 - August 22; August 26 - August 29.
The project webpage has more details on the work being done and will be kept current with construction information.

OR 569 Improvements from Green Hill Road to Coburg Road
We are repairing and repaving sections of the road, replacing signs, ADA curb ramps, installing variable message boards, cameras and traffic sensors. The project webpage has more details on the work we are doing.
Starting this week, we're closing the shoulder of the eastbound I-105 off-ramp to Country Club Road. We plan to working during the daytime.
We are replacing nearly three miles of median barrier on OR 569 starting August 15. We'll work at night with one travel lane in each direction.
In general, throughout the project area you can expect construction noise, shoulder and lane closures and the work zone controlled by flagging when needed.

OR 569 Bridge Repairs over Union Pacific Railroad and NW Expressway
We are replacing the bridge railing, any leaking or damaged joints and replacing the driving surface to give road users a smoother ride. More details and construction information can be found on the project webpage.
This work is being constructed with the OR 569 Green Hill Road to Coburg Road project. Expect construction noise, delays due to lane and ramp closures.
Construction estimated to complete in 2023.

OR 58 Paving from the Salt Creek Tunnel to milepost 70
We are repaving to preserve the road and give drivers a smoother ride.
Expect lane closures and delays with the work zone controlled by automated flaggers. We are working at night, Sunday - Thursday from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Please use caution when approaching the work zone, depending on where the crews are working there may be limited sight distance. Watch for the automated flagger on the road for direction on when to proceed.
Check out this video on automated flaggers to see how they are saving lives.

OR 99: Front Street Improvements in Creswell
We are working with our rail partners to improve the rail crossing to make it a level area that is safer for pedestrians and a smoother ride for drivers.
Expect construction noise, delays due to shoulder and lane closures. At a point during construction we will need to close OR 99 for four to five days, there will be detours in place for this closure. The project webpage will have more details and be kept current with construction information.

ADA Curb Ramp Projects in Harrisburg, Junction City and Veneta!
Harrisburg: You will see us in town next week as we start work on the first batch of curb ramps in Harrisburg. We will start with survey and setting up signs and crews will begin construction activities on the August 15. We estimate being done in September. We will be back in 2023 to finish the second batch (stage) of curb ramps.
Crews will work weekdays during the hours of 5 a.m. and 5 p.m., you can expect construction noise and shoulder closures. If lane closures are needed, they will happen at night between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
|
Junction City: Starting in early October we’ll start work on ramps between 1st Avenue and 17th Avenue in Junction City. The curb ramps will be done in two batches and we estimate completing the first batch by the end of the year.
Once construction starts you can expect noise, delays, shoulder and lane closures. We will mostly work during the day, 5 a.m. and 5 p.m, but there will be times when we need to work at night on this project.
For the duration of the project, October 2022 - April 2023, depending on which side of the road we’re working on, one lane of OR 99 will close with traffic shifted.
Veneta: Construction on the first round of curb ramps started earlier this summer. The construction crew is working on ramps as they are ready to construct, so you may see periods of inactivity. We estimate being finished in town by the end of the year.
Expect construction noise, shoulder and lane closures as needed.
Why are the curb ramps being done in batches? Not all intersections or curb locations are the same, some are construction-ready and others may have fire hydrants, utility access points, sloping ground, signs, poles, additional land requirements or need to move property accesses. These are things we take into account when scheduling the construction of the ramps in each city.
The construction-ready locations are done first because they can be done immediately while those needing additional coordination or design will be part of a future batch or stage of construction. This is why at an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times.

Pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will have access through or around our work zones.
