Whether navigating from the city to the coast, east toward
I-5 or just around town, Corvallis drivers may face delays and detours this
summer. On Hwy. 20 east of the Van
Buren Bridge, construction continues on a multi-use path north of the highway
and on an expansion of the south bypass intersection. Maintenance projects are
planned for other parts of the city as well. In the mountains around Eddyville, work is proceeding on the Hwy. 20 bypass, which is still scheduled to open to traffic in 2016.

detours, traffic coordination and future road work. Speakers will include Jerry
