We’re applying a treatment to the driving surface of the New Youngs Bay Bridge to extend the life of the pavement. The work is scheduled for Tuesday, July 29.
Expect crews working during the day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with only a single lane open and flaggers directing traffic. There will be construction noise and long delays. The work is expected to last one day, but schedules may change. For updates, visit TripCheck.com.
Due to ongoing funding challenges, some planned maintenance activities are being delayed or canceled. ODOT faces a significant funding shortfall resulting in staff layoffs and reduced capacity across the agency. Without new revenue or spending flexibility, ODOT must make deep cuts and lay off hundreds of people to stay within its budget.
Some critical maintenance activities will continue for safety reasons but may face delays or be limited due to reduced staffing and resources.
“We will continue to do everything possible to prioritize safety and minimize disruptions,” stated an ODOT representative.
