Expect congestion for paving in Ashland next week
 Crews will complete a grind and inlay paving project on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 to repair damaged pavement through downtown Ashland.
Sept. 24, 2024
ASHLAND – A two-day project will improve pavement conditions on Oregon 99 through downtown Ashland. Travelers in the two-mile work area will see daytime lane closures, as well as a temporary closure for some parking spaces.
On Monday, Sept. 30, crews will complete a grind and inlay in the southbound lanes of Oregon 99 (North Main Street) beginning at Maple Street and continuing on East Main Street through downtown to the intersection with Third Street.
On Tuesday, Oct. 1, crews will move to the northbound lanes of Oregon 99 (Lithia Way) starting at Third Street, then continue on North Main Street to the intersection with Maple Street.
Crews will work between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Travelers can expect a single lane closure through the active work zone. Several downtown parking spaces will be closed for one day during paving. They will be clearly marked the day before the closure.
Construction will not affect access to Asante Ashland Community Hospital; however, travelers should plan for a short delay due to traffic congestion.
The grind and inlay paving method involves removing the top layer of damaged or deteriorated asphalt and replacing it with a new layer of asphalt. It is more intensive than chip or crack sealing.
This project is a collaboration between ODOT and the City of Ashland. The work schedule is subject to change based on weather conditions.
