Busy week for Ronan-North project

This week is a busy one on the Ronan-North U.S. Highway 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 on 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 U.S. 93 at Baptiste Road and the northbound side of the couplet, which is the short, 600-foot two-lane segment connecting 1st Ave. to U.S. 93, just north of the Round Butte Road and U.S. 93 intersection.

Excavation operations will occur on the southbound side of the couplet.

Riverside Contracting crews will 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.
