A contractor with the Oregon Department of Transportation is continuing work on a nearly $12 million long-term project on Oregon 42 between Winston and the Green District.

The project will resurface a five-mile section of the highway, install a new traffic signal at Rolling Hils Road, add safety features to help reduce crashes in the Green District and upgrade sidewalk curb ramps to better accommodate wheelchair users and other pedestrians.

An ODOT update said starting the week of August 11th, the contractor will focus on excavation work along both sides of Oregon 42 between Carnes Road and Rolling Hills Road/Grange Road. This rode widening work will allow for construction of westbound right-turn lanes at Landers and Rolling Hills Road and also accommodate the new U-turn opportunities for highway traffic at Carnes Road and Rolling Hills Road. Motorists should watch for intermittent shoulder and lane closures in both directions.

Elsewhere, drivers should watch for intermittent lane and should closures through the work zone. Flaggers will provide traffic control as needed. Motorists need to watch for traffic control devices, construction vehicles, equipment and workers.

When sidewalks are closed for construction, alternate pedestrian routes will be provided.
