DCPW: Railroad Crossing Project
Douglas Co. Government
The project will require the closure of Old Highway 99N where the road intersects the railroad tracks, and motorists will be asked to detour their route during this period. Due to the road closure at the railroad tracks, southbound motorists are asked to detour from Hastings Avenue to Taylor Street to Comstock Road in Sutherlin. Likewise, northbound traffic is asked to detour utilizing Comstock Road in Sutherlin.
DCPW will install reader boards with advance warning notices, as well as barricades with road closed signs to notify the motoring public of the railroad crossing closures. During the closures, motorists will be asked to detour their route. All road closures will have alternate routes, except as noted with a detour on site. However, the alternate routes will not be signed as a detour.
Safety is always a priority for the motoring public and we are asking motorists to use caution as they travel in the area and to seek alternate routes whenever possible. Please follow and obey all posted signs, warnings and flagging instructions. For more information, please contact Douglas County Public Works Department at (541) 440-4481.
