U.S. 26 Paving Continues Between Seaside and Portland

August 20, 2021 -- Paving continues as ODOT crews prepare to move to a new location on U.S. 26 very soon. ODOT is first wrapping up paving from Necanicum Junction to the Nehalem River Bridge (milepost 9.8 to milepost 21.6) and will then start paving from Hayward Road to NW Mountaindale Road (milepost 47.6 to milepost 53). The Project 1 website can be viewed via this link.

Paving in the new location is expected to start the last week of August 2021. The Project 2 website can be viewed via this link. Schedules may change, so motorists are encouraged to visit TripCheck.com for the most recent information on closures and impacts.

Traffic impacts for both areas: 
Single lane closures controlled by flagging.
Crews work from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. while at the first location. When crews move to the second location, they will work from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Expect delays and detours while ODOT crews are paving the on and off ramps at the second location. 
Signs, traffic cones and barriers will be in place to help traffic, pedestrians and bicyclists navigate safely around the area where work is being done.
