Chapel Drive, in Philomath, will be closed to through traffic between 15th Street and 19th Street August 5 - 8, 2024, for replacement of culverts and drainage way improvements. The work will be performed by Benton County Public Works Road Division crews.
Trenching for the culverts will create a closure that cannot be spanned with steel plates. The road will not reopen in the evenings. Detour routes are via the South 13th, South 15th, South 19th, and Main Street (U.S. Highway 20/Oregon 34) corridors and the Fern Road, SW Airport Avenue, and Bellfountain Road corridors.
Questions regarding the closure may be directed to Gordon Kurtz, Associate Engineer at Benton County Public Works by phone 541-740-5228 or email: gordon.p.kurtz@bentoncountyor.gov.
