Short closure planned for US 20 construction blast near Eddyville
Eddyville— A construction blast will result in a planned 15-minute closure of US 20, near Eddyville Wednesday. The contractor and ODOT are taking every precaution to prevent blast debris from reaching the roadway; however motorists should be aware that a longer-than-planned closure could result.
The contractor on the US 20-Pioneer Mountain to Eddyville project plans to remove approximately 10,000 cubic yards of earth in the blast on Wednesday, July 21.
Motorists will see the following changes to travel along US 20, between milepost 24 and 25, east of Eddyville:
Wednesday, July 21—Construction blast may extend delays
The westbound lane will be closed. A pilot car will control traffic between 6 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. There will be a complete, 15-minute road closure for a construction blast sometime between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
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.
