Grinding and paving will continue over the next week or two on Highway 395 as part of the $3.7 million improvement project in Hermiston.

After paving work is complete, the permanent concrete median curbs will be installed at the Elm Avenue intersection to restrict turning movements (where the candle stick cones were installed). Striping of the highway lines will also follow paving activities.

Traffic impacts for the week of May 23 are as follows:

Nightshift Monday–Thursday 7 p.m.–7a.m. May 23–26:

Monday – Various paving activities between Theater Lane and 4th Street.

Tuesday – Grind/pave northbound slow lane from Highland Avenue to Theater Lane.

Wednesday – Grind/pave southbound slow lane from Theater Lane to Highland Avenue.

Thursday – Grind/pave from Highland Avenue to Fourth Street. This section will be five inches of paving to provide more structure support for the roadway.

Friday – NOTE for Holiday Weekend: The contractor will be off the roadway by noon on Friday (May 27) to accommodate Memorial Day Weekend traffic. Work will resume Tuesday evening (May 31).

Access to businesses: Access signs and blue cones will be placed to show businesses are open during evening hours. Signs will not be placed out during late evening (the expectation is businesses are closed. 11 p.m. – 5 a.m.).
