Your Friday evening update on Salem news
Good evening, Salem.
Driving around northeast Salem might take more time due to road work that starts Monday.
The city of Salem posted on Facebook Friday that a month of roadwork on Northeast Hazelgreen Road kicks off Monday morning. City crews will be working on “utility and half street improvements” until Feb. 4, a city website said.
The eastbound lane of Hazelgreen Road between Northeast Portland and Cordon Roads will be closed on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for the next month, the city’s Facebook post said. Drivers should plan to find alternate routes to avoid the construction.
A full map of the city’s construction project and traffic impacts is available online here. For more information about the road work or other projects, call the city at 503-588-6211 or email [email protected].
