Several road projects will mean lane closures this week in Central Oregon, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation.

U.S. Highway 20 at Eighth Street in Bend

This week, signal work will cause lane closures from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and flaggers will control traffic. There will not be lane closures on Memorial Day, but there will be work that night away from the travel lanes. The signal changeover is scheduled for Wednesday.

U.S. Highway 97 at First Street in La Pine

This week, except Memorial Day, there will be daytime construction at all four corners of Highway 97 and First Street as well as along First Street.

Beginning 10 p.m. Monday and continuing through the week, Third Street and Division Street bridges will be resurfaced, causing single-lane closures from 7:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. through Thursday night. Flaggers and Oregon State Police will be there to help control and monitor traffic. Traffic congestion could cause delays as long as 20 minutes, according to ODOT.

U.S. Highway 97 and Murphy Road in Bend

There is currently a detour for southbound Brookswood traffic to use eastbound Pinebrook Boulevard to southbound U.S. Highway 97, then Highway 97 to westbound Baker Road.
