July 1, 2022 - The annual summer road construction season is underway in Corvallis. Resurfacing work starts July 1 on portions of Van Buren Avenue and Washington Avenue in the central downtown area and is expected to conclude by the end of September.

Work includes asphalt grinding and paving, restriping, and improvements to sidewalk ADA ramps. Blocks involved in these projects include:

  • Van Buren Avenue between 17th Street and 4th Street.
  • Washington Avenue between 11st Street and 2nd Street.

Typically, work will occur between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, with occasional work on Saturdays as needed.

Travelers can expect periodic traffic impacts from July through September. Van Buren Avenue may be reduced to one lane of travel, and parking temporarily removed from this section of Van Buren during construction. Washington Avenue will also have parking temporarily removed during construction. 

Services such as mail delivery and garbage collection will remain available.

Corvallis Transit Service (CTS) will continue to serve these areas. Any changes to CTS stops or routes will be posted on the City’s website at www.corvallisoregon.gov/cts. Bus riders can also sign up to receive service alerts via email.

As always, this schedule is subject to change due to impacts from weather and unforeseen delays. Thank you for your patience as we make the most of our relatively short summer road construction season in Corvallis.
