About

​enlarged project map iconThis section of OR 126 is a snow zone and the current pavement is cracking and needs to be replaced. The pavement is in poor condition and has required our maintenance crew to apply patches more frequently to hold this section together. There are three bridges in this section that also need to be resurfaced. 

We will: 

  • Remove the existing pavement. 

  • Repave.

  • Apply permanent striping. 

  • Adjust or replace guardrail.

  • Resurface the bridges.

​By repaving, we're creating a smoother ride and preserving the road and bridges so more costly repairs are not needed in the future.
