RONAN — This week will be a busy one on the Ronan-North US Highway 93 (US 93) project. Riverside Contracting will begin installing a 54-inch siphon pipe, requiring excavation through the roadway. Crews will also start milling the roadway and shoulder of the northbound lane, the east side of the highway, starting at the south end of the project. Due to this work, drivers should anticipate shifting traffic lanes and transitioning to and from gravel surfaces.
Also, embankment operations will be underway on the west side of US 93 at Baptiste Road and the northbound side of the couplet, the short, 600-foot two-lane segment connecting 1st Avenue to US 93, just north of the Round Butte Road and US 93 intersection. Excavation operations will be occurring on the southbound side of the couplet.
This week crews will only be on site from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., weather permitting.
Drivers should plan for short delays when traveling through the project area. Traffic control, including traffic lights and flaggers, and reduced speeds will be in place.
Remember the three Ss of work zone safety when traveling through the construction zone: speed, space, and stress. Slow down when approaching work zones and follow posted speed limits. Leave adequate braking room between your vehicle and the one ahead of you. Keep your cool, pay attention, and plan for delays.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Call the project hotline at 406-207-4484, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on the Ronan-North project, visit: bit.ly/Ronan-North
