(Lincoln City, Oregon) - After a brief summer pause, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is resuming construction work in Lincoln City to improve accessibility for all travelers. The central Oregon coast town will again be buzzing with the sound of road and pavement work.

“We appreciate your patience as we make Lincoln City more accessible, whether you drive, ride, walk or roll,” ODOT said. “We plan to return to town on September 15 to start work on the second half of our ADA curb ramp project.”

You'll find crews returning to the stretch between Salishan Hills Drive and NE West Devils Lake Road. This comes as the Youngs Bay Bridge in Astoria is done with major traffic delays – but another is coming soon to the south Oregon coast between Bandon and Port Orford.

ODOT is urging drivers to use caution when passing through the work zone in Lincoln City, as construction activity will increase in the coming weeks. The agency has outlined several impacts and expectations for the public:

Crews will be working during daytime hours from Monday through Thursday. Some construction may occur on Fridays and during nighttime hours if needed. ODOT said shoulder and lane closures will be implemented as necessary and traffic delays are possible, with flaggers on site to help direct vehicles safely.

Construction noise is expected, especially from concrete-cutting equipment, which can be loud and dusty.

Businesses in the area will remain open throughout the construction period. All traffic lanes will be open on weekends to minimize any possible disruption.

ODOT reminds drivers that fines double in all Oregon work zones, regardless of whether workers or signage are actively present. Pedestrian access - including for those with disabilities - will be maintained through or around the work zones.

As the project progresses, ODOT will update its interactive map to reflect any changes in location or schedule.

The ADA curb ramp upgrades are designed to make sidewalks and streets more accessible for everyone. By replacing high curbs with gently sloped ramps, the improvements benefit not only people with disabilities but also those using strollers, walkers, bicycles, and hand carts. The goal is to create a safer, more inclusive environment for all who navigate Lincoln City’s streets.

A much larger closure is coming to the southern coast portion of 101 on September 19 – 21. The road will be closed for about 48 hours, leaving a lengthy set of detours the only way between Port Orford and Bandon.S.
