ODOT crews are setting their sights on McKenzie Pass and they will use funding from a Federal Lands Access Program grant to repave OR 242 from the junction with U.S. 20 in Sisters to the summit at Dee Wright Observatory
Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, improvement grants like this are critical to low-traffic volume roads like McKenzie Pass.
Crews are already working on early stages of the project, and travelers will notice work happening first in Sisters and progressing west up OR 242.
After a long winter, we know everyone is anxious to head out. Remember that when this road is closed, it is closed to everyone.
Do not pass the closed gates, and never enter a work zone.
This is especially important to remember this year as crews work behind the closed gates of OR 242 to make this route smoother and safer for everyone.
Since crews will be working in a closed area, they may work any day of the week and heavy equipment will be on the road.
Entering the project work zone is dangerous for you and for our crews. It can also cause delays and slow down the project timeline.
