Extensive Repairs Interchange Construction Continues Complete, ODOT On New Newberg-Dunbee Bypass Reopens Oregon 234
Excavation begins to replace the material beneath the roadway.
Oregon 234 has reopened west of Eagle Point following a seven-week closure for repairs, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) announced on Nov. 21, 2025. Settling and storm damage caused the road at milepost 15.1 to sink, requiring extensive reconstruction. During the closure, contractor Visar Construction removed the road surface and excavated to a depth of 30 ft. Fill material was replaced by higher-quality rock to help prevent erosion. Crews also improved the drainage system to better accommodate runoff during future storms. see REPAIRS page 8
