ODOT PROJECT UPDATE: Sidewalk and curb extension work begins next week in downtown North Bend Prime contractor Knife River will work on sidewalk and curb extension construction in downtown North Bend July 29-August 2. Knife River tentatively plans to begin work at the Florida Ave. intersection of U.S. Highway 101 (Sherman Ave.), gradually working south until they reach the Washington Ave. intersection in August. Construction will require some sidewalk closures, but ODOT and Knife River plan to stage the work so that pedestrians will have alternate routes around the work zone. ODOT and Knife River will make every effort to give advance notice to businesses prior to the replacement of sidewalk directly in front of their doors. As part of this work, curb extensions will be installed at six intersections along U.S. 101, where Sherman and Sheridan meet California, Virginia and Washington. Knife River will also replace some sections of old or damaged sidewalk along Sheridan Ave. Some smaller sections of sidewalk, such as the corners at the Florida Ave. intersection, may only take a few days to replace. The curb extension work in other areas may take more time, or may be completed in stages. Meanwhile, contractors plan to install new traffic signals poles at three intersections along U.S. 101 as well as several cantilever signs in the North Bend area. Starting in August, Knife River will begin nighttime paving of U.S. 101 in downtown North Bend. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
