Eastside Safe Routes to School Construction, April 17

City of Coos Bay release – We are excited to announce that construction for the Eastside Safe Routes to School project is scheduled to break ground on April 20, 2020. The City of Coos Bay has contracted with Knife River Materials to perform construction services for the project which extends from Millicoma School (2nd Ave.) to the Isthmus Slough Bridge. The project improvements include storm infrastructure, sidewalks, accessibility ramps, marked crosswalks, and rapid flash beacons. This project will greatly enhance our pedestrian access along this corridor and provide a safer method of travel for our students and the community alike. The expected project completion date is December 20, 2020. During construction, there will be traffic control measures to direct traffic. Drivers and pedestrians are advised to please exercise caution within the construction zone and detour area.
The city thanks you in advance for your cooperation and patience during the completion of this project. Any questions can be directed to Public Works, Operations Division at 541-269-8918. Additional information will be released as construction draws near.
