Expect:

-Pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will have access through or around work zones.
-Lane closure and flagging when working at the Commercial Street and Kelly Street intersections with OR 99.
The curb ramps are being built in batches, or stages, so you might see some periods of inactivity and some of the work is weather dependent so the schedule may change – visit TripCheck.com for the most up to date information on road conditions and traffic.
