Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

  • Long-term projects: Lane County: Construction is happening on Gilham Road between Ayres Road and Don Juan Avenue to build storm sewers, water quality facilities, retaining walls, ADA curb ramps, sidewalks, and paving. Work started April 14 and is expected to finish by December 31. Detours are in place and flaggers are directing traffic. Coburg Road: Construction is underway between Fox Meadow and North Game Farm Road for utility work and ADA ramp installations. Lane changes are controlled by flaggers. Pedestrians and bicyclists may have limited access and might need to cross to the other side of the road. Bicyclists can use Fox Meadow Road as a detour. Large trucks and equipment are in the area during construction.
