Construction and Traffic Impacts

Here's what you can expect during construction.

Most of the work on Bethel Road will happen behind a hard barrier east of OR 99W to protect our crew from moving traffic. 

When construction starts, you can expect:

  • Lane and shoulder closures as needed –
    • During the day, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
    • In the evening, Sunday night through Thursday morning from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
  • Construction noise and debris.
  • A hard barrier on Bethel Road east of OR 99W.
  • Delays and detour routes.
  • Bethel Road east of OR 99W to close with a signed detour for about three weeks.

When the detour starts, you can expect:

  • OR 99W to remain open in both directions.
  • Bethel Road east of OR 99W to close for about three weeks.
  • A signed detour route to help traffic get around the closure.
To get around the closure, travelers can follow the signs to:
OR 99W ↔ OR 153 ↔ OR 221 ↔ Lincoln-Zena Road.
