Highway 76 has been closed to through traffic between NW 16th and NW 24th at the City’s request due to safety concerns. The City Manager just spoke with ODOT Operations, who confirmed that the drainage box beneath Highway 76 will require full replacement. ODOT is working to construct a temporary solution to restore traffic flow along 76 while engineers evaluate and determine the appropriate long-term repair strategy. Timing for a permanent solution has not yet been established, pending further engineering assessment. The City Manager will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.

🚧 Traffic Update – Road Closure 🚧 (updated at 4:50pm) After coordinating with ODOT, SH-76 will be HARD CLOSED within the hour between NW 16th and NW 24th. Crews are working to establish a detour route from SH-130 to SH-37 while a plan is developed to safely restore traffic through the work zone. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
