🚧 Traffic Update – March 3, 2025 🚧 The City of Newcastle has received the following update from ODOT regarding SH-76: * Fox Lane is open to local traffic. * SH-76 remains closed to thru traffic between Fox Lane and NE 24th St while repairs continue. * The signed detour remains in place along SH-130 / US-62 / SH-37 / SH-76. On the attached map, locations labeled “Str #” identify drainage structures along SH-76 that are currently under repair and closed to traffic. The current local traffic detour (shown in bright blue on the map) remains in place because the roadway is fully excavated at two repair locations between Fox Lane and NW 16th St. Crews are continuing work on a temporary roadway (shoo-fly detour) around the damaged area between NW 16th St and NW 24th St, with a target completion date of March 13 (weather permitting). Once complete, the local traffic detour is expected to be reduced to the area between Fox Lane and NW 16th St. Work is also underway to reconstruct the full roadway width in this area, with the goal of restoring two lanes of traffic within the next 4–6 weeks, pending weather. Please continue to use alternate routes and allow extra travel time. We will share updates as additional information becomes available.
