Culvert replacements
to close roads
In order to replace three
culverts and complete
associated road work on
the La Grande Ranger
District, the Forest Service
will be temporarily closing
four Forest Service Roads
(FSR). The road improve-
ments will enhance public
access by repairing the
road surface and reduc-
ing sediment delivery into
Sheep Creek and East
Sheep Creek.
Additionally, the culvert
replacements will provide
improved fi sh passage.
Roadwork will begin on
Tuesday, July 5 and is ex-
pected to last until the end
of August.
The specifi c temporary
closure schedule will be
implemented as follows:
July 5- August 31: FSR
5184, FSR 5182 and FSR
5182510 in the Sheep
Creek area south of Vey
Meadows and west of
Chicken Hill.
The construction work
will require the full 18
miles of these roads be
closed during repairs, and
the closure signs will be
posted from FSR 51 and
FSR 52.
Jully 11- August 11: FSR
5160 at Sheep Creek cross-
ing. The closure area will
include a one-half mile
length of FSR 5160 and
will be marked from FSR
51 and FSR 52.
Alternate routes in the
area include Forest Service
Roads 51, 52, and 5155.
Construction activities will
be ongoing, so the Forest
Service asks that visitors
respect the closures for
public safety.
For additional informa-
tion on the road repairs,
please contact the La
Grande Ranger District at
541-963-7186.

tional Forest, please visit

Expect construction
in Pyle’s Canyon
Starting July 11, motor-
ists can expect delays
along the La Grande-Baker
Highway (OR 237) that
runs through Pyle’s Can-
yon between Union and
North Powder. Contractors
working for the Oregon
Department of Transpor-
tation will be paving the
highway between mile
posts 17.4 (south end of
Union) and 20.5.
Travelers should plan
for up to 20-minute delays
The
with fl aggers and pilot
cars directing single-lane
traffi c through the work
zone. The travel lane will
be reduced to about 12
feet in width, including
sections with sharp curves.
Wide vehicles and farm
equipment will need to use
alternate routes.
The work is expected to
take place between 6 a.m.
and 7 p.m. and take about
two weeks two complete.
Travelers are advised to
slow down, watch for
crews and equipment and
follow directions of fl ag-
gers and pilot vehicles.
ODOT reminds everyone
to ditch the distractions
by putting cell phone and
electronic devices away
and paying extra attention
to the roadway.
Traffi c fi ne are double the
amount in all work zones,
whether workers are pres-
ent or not.
