Lane restrictions and temporary closure planned for US 20 near Eddyville
Motorists are encouraged to be prepared for a lengthy road closure
Eddyville— A construction blast will result in lane restrictions on US 20, near Eddyville tomorrow and could result in a road closure lasting several hours.
The contractor on the US 20-Pioneer Mountain to Eddyville project plans to remove approximately 5,000 cubic yards of earth in the blast on Thursday, May 20.
Motorists will see the following changes to travel along US 20, between mile post 24 and 25, east of Eddyville:

Thursday, May 20—Construction blast may close road
The westbound lane will be closed. Flaggers will direct traffic. There will be a complete
road closure for a construction blast between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. The road closure
could remain in effect for several hours.
If blasting this week, or at any time during project construction, creates the chance for lengthy traffic delays or highway closures, ODOT will activate variable message signs at key locations to alert drivers to consider alternate routes.
Alternate routes include OR 34 between the coast and the Willamette Valley. Large trucks should use OR99W/I-5 to OR 22 to OR 18 to the coast.
Please use caution when traveling through construction work zones.
