Construction at landslide on OR 18 to continue this weekend
CORVALLIS— A contractor working for ODOT will work through the weekend on landslide mitigation construction in an effort to complete the project next week.
As a result, motorists will experience intermittent single lane closures on OR 18 at milepost 11.3. Flaggers will control travel in alternating directions and motorists should expect delays of 10-15 minutes.
-
What: Single lane closures with traffic stops or delays of 10-15 minutes
-
Where: OR 18, milepost 11.3
-
When: Saturday and Sunday, October 23 and 24, 2010
-
Why: Landslide mitigation construction
Paving scheduled to begin mid-week
Weather permitting, the project will pave and stripe the roadway Wednesday and Thursday of next week (October 27 & 28). Motorists will likely experience slightly longer delays; perhaps as long as 20 minutes during paving and striping.
The contractor, Oregon Mainline Paving of McMinnville, is excavating twenty-five feet below the road grade and installing rock. Rock is also being installed on a large slide area above the road grade in an effort to stabilize a landslide that has compromised the road’s integrity.
The $680,000 urgent project will construct rock buttressing, rebuild the roadway and repave the area. When complete, the road will return to its original design of two eastbound lanes and one westbound lane at the location.
