Located approximately nine miles north of Florence, the original wall was con- structed in 1931. Over time, the wall has lost its integrity in several places. This project will increase the height and restore the integrity and the aesthetic appearance of a portion of the historic rock retaining wall T Oregon was awarded the low- bid contract of $2.6 million. The Rock Wall project will be one of several October work zones between Florence and Yachats. During the month of October, travelers between Florence and Yachats should plan additional time for the trip between the two cities. Heading north from Florence, travelers will encounter: • Several work zones asso- ciated with a two-year paving and curve widening project taking place between mile- posts 179 and 184. Crews on that project will be working days, nights and weekends to meet a Saturday, along the ocean side of the highway. This section of Highway 101 is a designated scenic highway in Oregon. The Sea Lion Point Rock Wall is one of four designated rockwork sites on Highway 101, and is the second longest of these types of features. It is the only designated rockwork feature in Lane County. The Sea Lion Point Rock Wall is a good example of a rock feature constructed at the time. The project will also replace the bridge rail on a half-viaduct near Cape Perpetua, at milepost 166. H.P. Civil Inc., of Stayton Oct. 31, contract deadline. • The 24-hour-per-day single lane closure at the Sea Lion Point Rock Wall at mile- post 178. • Intermittent single lane closures and flagging at a slide mitigation project at milepost 177.

While most of the work zones are short in length, resulting in short travel delays, the cumulative effect of the work zones may create a total delay of a half-hour or more.
