eorn OPreagvoinn6g2, 140 Sreusummm es Prime contractor Knife River Corporation will return to Crater Lake Highway this summer for the final year of a paving project from Medford to north of Shady Cove. This $6.9 million paving project is funded with federal stimulus dollars. The federal program requires the work be finished this year. The project entails grinding out and repaving a total of 16 miles of old pavement. The areas that have yet to be completed include near Poplar Drive to
east of Delta Waters; Highway 234 to south of the Shady Cove city limits; and, north of the Shady Cove city limits to just north of the Tiller-Trail Highway junction. Some corrective work on Highway 140 is also part of the project. ODOT will issue weekly construction updates as the work progresses this summer. Road condition updates are available at www.Tripcheck.com or by calling 511.
