PENDLETON – Travelers should expect daytime lane closures and delays on Oregon 11 starting June 15 for chip seal operations. The project extends from OR 331 to the Weston Interchange (OR 204), mileposts 4-20.
Chip seal helps protect and extend the life of the existing road by applying oil, covering it with rock chips and pressing the material into place with rollers.
This work is expected to be done by the end of June. Crews will return in July to apply permanent striping, with all project activities scheduled to wrap up by August.
Travel impacts
Please slow down and use caution in chip seal work zones. Allow extra travel time and watch for crews and equipment.
What to Expect
- Flaggers and pilot cars guiding single‑lane traffic.
- Delays of up to 20 minutes.
- Reduced speed limits.
- Loose rock on the road for several days after chip seal work.
- Possible nighttime or early morning delays while crews sweep the road.
Travelers should reduce speed and leave extra space between vehicles to help prevent windshield damage from loose rock.
People biking through the area should be prepared to ride on chip-covered pavement behind a pilot car. Shoulders may be temporarily unusable.
If possible, consider an alternate route to avoid delays.
