GREEN DISTRICT -- Old Highway 99 S will be closed at the Oregon 42/Grant Smith Road intersection tonight from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. for paving. Local traffic on Old Highway 99 S can detour along Happy Valley Road and Carnes Road to reach Oregon 42.
Paving work on Grant Smith Road, originally planned for this week, will be pushed back a few days.
The west end of Grant Smith Road is scheduled to be closed Sunday night, May 10, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. A detour will be available from Grant Smith Road, along Ingram Drive, Speedway Road and Old Highway 99 S to Oregon 42.
The closures will allow contractors for ODOT to pave local road approaches.
This work is part of the $11.97 million Oregon 42: Lookingglass Creek to Interstate 5 Paving and Safety Improvements project. Prime contractor Rocky Mountain Construction is scheduled to begin paving the Oregon 42 travel lanes next week.
