The Interstate north-bound off-ramp at Exit 125, Garden Valley Boulevard in Roseburg, will be close Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights, January 28th-30th, for construction.

Dan Latham of the Oregon Department of Transportation said a three-mile detour will be provided for the 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. closures. Latham said northbound freeway traffic can continue north and use Exit 127, Edenbower Boulevard to turn around and approach Exit 125 from the southbound direction.

On Sunday night, contractors will install guardrail along the ramp. The following two nights are scheduled for paving, which is weather dependent and could be postponed, due to rain. Roadside message boards will be in place and will provided updated closure information.

Latham said the closures are part of a $2.4 million project that will add a dedicated right-turn lane to the northbound off-ramp, helping to ease congestion and improve safety at the interchange. The project will also replace the traffic signal and upgrade sidewalk curb ramps.

Prime contractor Knife River Materials is scheduled to complete work this summer.
