Salem, Ore. — Due to continued rain in the forecast, work to complete the two-way conversion of Court St. in downtown Salem will be delayed. The paint used on roadways is a thermoplastic paint that is thicker, wear-resistant and contains reflective properties for visibility on asphalt surfaces. Thermoplastic paints require an extended period of dry, warm weather for application, and weather models continue to predict rain Wednesday and Thursday. 

Notifications will be sent out when the weather allows the project to move forward.
