Construction season begins today on a major culvert repair project on OR 58, a vital corridor between the southern Willamette Valley and central Oregon.
This work will continue through early October 2023. Plan for delays of up to 20 minutes from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays. When approaching work zones, remember to slow down and drive cautiously for your safety and for the safety of highway workers.
We are repairing or replacing 54 culverts on OR 58, starting in Lane County today and continuing in both Lane and Klamath counties from May through October. Utility work and vegetation removal has already begun to prepare for construction.
There will be up to three active work zones each day for this project. During construction, you can expect:
- Shoulder closures.
- Single lane closures weekdays from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. with flagging.
- Potential delays up to 20 minutes.
- Construction noise.
This project identified 54 culverts needing repair or replacement because they are in poor condition or in need of increased size to improve water flow or fish passage. See more information on this project.
This work is part of several projects underway to improve this route from the southern Willamette Valley and Interstate 5 to central Oregon and U.S. 97. This corridor is vital to freight and travelers, and is a critical route in disasters and disaster relief efforts. Find out more about the corridor projects.
