Heads up, Construction on OR Hwy 101
Upgrade for coast highway planned North of Florence
Few highlights from the story, personally glad to see this finally being addressed on this part of 101.
"A 17-mile stretch of Highway 101 north of Florence is in such bad shape the state plans to undertake a major rebuild that will cost nearly $10 million.
As part of the work, the project will widen curves along the stretch, Little said. That will involve excavating the curves, laying in new gravel and then laying on pavement, he said.
The work will begin this month and be carried out this summer and next, causing traffic delays of up to 20 minutes. Traffic will be restricted to a single lane, and be controlled by flaggers and pilot cars."
