Hwy 11/S Main Street Road Restriping Project

Travelers are cautioned to watch for traffic pattern changes and parking restriction along Oregon Highway 11 on August 1 and 2 in downtown Milton-Freewater. ODOT crews and their contractors will be removing the existing highway striping and repainting new lines between SE 14h Street and SW 2nd Street. The new striping will transform the existing 4-lane route into three lanes, with one lane each direction, a dedicated turn lane in the middle, and two bike paths added on each side next to existing parking. ODOT requested the changes in order to improve safety for motorists and pedestrians, especially school children walking to/from the new K-3rd Gib Olinger grade school constructed one block off of Oregon Highway 11.  For additional details see information flyer below.
