ODOT Region 2 | Sept. 2, 2009 | 09-239-R2 For more information: Rick Little, information officer, (541) 726-2442 Joe Squire, project manager, (541) 875-2859 US20- Pioneer Mountain to Eddyville project to flag traffic Short delays expected during two separate operations
Flaggers will control traffic at mile post 25, east of Eddyville, while the hydroseeding occurs. Minimal delays are expected. Hydroseed is an erosion control product that combines grass seed, a natural fiber material and fertilizer. It is applied to bare soil in anticipation of heavy, winter rain. The fiber acts as mulch for the seed and protects the soil from erosion until the grass seed can take root. In addition, the project is receiving large, precast concrete beams that will be attached to the bridge structures under construction. As trucks carrying the beams make the sharp turn into the project area, motorists may experience short delays. There are eight bridges currently under construction in the project. The US20-Pioneer Mountain to Eddyville project will have a total of 10 new bridges and 6 miles of new road when completed in 2011. It is the largest road and bridge construction project underway in Oregon. Visit www.odotproject.info for more information about this and other ODOT projects. ## ODOT ##
