Miami Foley Road will be closed for two days starting October 8 as part of the ongoing replacement of the Crystal Creek and Dry Creek Bridges. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) announced that the closures will take place daily at Crystal Creek on October 8 and October 9 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. During these hours, traffic will be detoured using U.S. 101.
Crews will work during the day, and residents can expect construction noise and delays. A single lane of Miami Foley Road is planned to reopen each day by 3:30 p.m.
After October 9, daytime work will continue with a single lane open and controlled by a temporary traffic signal. Construction-related disruptions are expected to persist in the area.
ODOT encourages drivers to stay alert in work zones, slow down, and watch for construction signs and workers. “Pay attention in the work zone, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work. Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers,” ODOT stated.
The department also reminded motorists that fines double in all Oregon work zones regardless of whether workers or signs are present.
