Covering coastal Douglas County:

The Oregon Department of Transportation has clarified information on paving work happening this week in the City of Reedsport.

Dan Latham said ODOT is only paving U.S. Highway 101, not any side streets. Latham said highway paving work is going from the Umpqua River Bridge to the Schofield Creek Bridge, a distance of a little more than half a mile. Motorists should expect single-lane closures with brief delays. Watch for workers and equipment that is in the roadway. There may be times that Winchester Avenue and/or Juniper Avenue will be closed, but a detour will be provided.

Latham said work will continue from 7:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. through Friday morning.  Crews will be grinding asphalt and paving back.

For more information on the project, call the ODOT office in Roseburg at 957-3500.
