2020 to see long-awaited high safety project
A good part of 2020 will
see road work on Highway
26 through the War m
Springs community.
There will be some incon-
venience—during the con-
struction period, traffic will
be limited to one lane—but
the long-term benefits will be
more than worthwhile.
For pedestrians some ar-
eas of the highway through
Warm Springs—from the
Shell station past Indian Head
Casino and the Museum at
Warm Springs—are among
the most dangerous in the re-
gion.
The issue is that up to
7,000 motor vehicles a day
travel through Warm Springs
on Highway 26. This is good
for business opportunities,
such as at the casino and
museum, the gas station, and
future development on cam-
pus.
Along with the motor ve-
hicle traffic, though, this
area of highway is popular
with pedestrians who are
walking or on a bicycle.
Nighttime, and during
snowy or rainy weather, can
be especially difficult for
pedestrians. The tribes and
Oregon Department of
Transportation initiated the
Highway 26 Warm Springs
Safety Corridor project five
years ago.
The design is now ready
