Slow travel expected on Highway 20

(EDDYVILLE) - The Oregon Department of Transportation has closed Highway 20 at mile post 23, about two mile east of Eddyville, after material from a rock-blasting project inadvertently landed on the highway.

The incident occurred at about 4 PM Monday at the east end of the U.S. 20 Pioneer Mountain-Eddyville highway improvement project. No injuries have been reported.

Yaquina River Constructors, the general contractor in charge of the $130 million highway project, and ODOT maintenance crews are in the process of clearing one lane of the highway so flaggers can escort traffic through the area.

Some material from the blasting project damaged the other lane of the highway, which will have to be repaved.

It is unclear when that repair project will be completed.
