Nighttime paving on Highway 20

The Oregon Department of Transportation advises motorists to expect delays during a nighttime repaving project now underway on Highway 20, from milepoints 24.4 to 29.4.

Single-lane closures will be in place from Sunday night to Friday morning, 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Flaggers and pilot cars will be used to direct traffic.

According to ODOT, this section of the highway is in poor condition, and the existing driving surface needs to be removed and replaced. The project will include repaving the road, adding new striping, sealing the surface of the bridges and installing rumble strips.

The estimated cost of construction for the entire project is $6.25 million.
