Nighttime U.S. 26 traffic will be down to one lane north of Madras
May 1-5 and May 8-12 for final road work
Traffic switch, striping, and guardrail work to cause brief closures and delays
MADRAS, Ore.—Nighttime traffic on U.S. 26 at the railroad bridge north of Madras will be reduced to one lane on Monday, May 1 through Friday, May 5, and from Monday, May 8 through Wednesday, May 12, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. to allow the contractor to complete final striping and barrier work. Flaggers will control alternating one-way traffic and drivers should expect delays of less than 10 minutes. Final paving will be performed during daytime hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with no impact on two-way traffic.
All work is weather permitting and subject to rescheduling.
Traffic will be switched to the final configuration after this last phase of paving and striping, and guardrail installation work is complete. This will complete the work at this project site.
The OTIA III State Bridge Delivery Program is part of the Oregon Department of Transportation's 10-year, $3 billion Oregon Transportation Investment Act program. OTIA funds will repair or replace hundreds of bridges, pave and maintain city and county roads, improve and expand interchanges, add new capacity to Oregon's highway system, and remove freight bottlenecks statewide. About 18 family-wage jobs are sustained for every $1 million spent on transportation construction in Oregon. Each year during the OTIA program, construction projects will sustain about 5,000 family-wage jobs. Visit OTIA online at http://egov.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/OTIA/.
