We’re working at several locations on OR 58
There are multiple work zones in the corridor, including routine maintenance and crews working on projects.
Plan ahead – with so much work happening in the corridor, expect delays and give yourself extra time to make your trip. Work is weather dependent, and our schedules may change. Learn about some of the work we’re doing below.
Know before you go –visit TripCheck.com for the most up to date information on traffic impacts.
Pay attention in the work zone, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work! Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers.
Remember that fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.
