WALLOWA – ODOT Resident Engineer reports work this week on the Bridge Replacement on OR82 near Wallowa includes the contractor continuing constructing shoring of the existing highway to accommodate construction of the new bridge foundations.

The shoring results in the need to close one lane of the highway as the new foundations encroach on the existing highway pavement. A temporary traffic signal is in place. Traffic will be controlled by flaggers or the temporary traffic signal during working hours, and by the temporary traffic signal during non-working hours. Up to 20 minute delays can be expected 24/7. The signal is expected to remain in place until both travel lanes are available again early this fall.
