“Heavy Congestion” Expected on OR-62 as Emergency Bridge Repairs Begin

Medford, Oregon- Travelers should prepare for heavy congestion on Crater Lake Highway (OR-62) in eastbound lanes near the Rogue Valley Mall entrance and Interstate 5 interchange (Exit 30) this Tuesday afternoon. Emergency bridge repairs will require lane closures in this section, with work planned to address issues before expected rain.

This project aims to maintain safety and ensure structural stability on this stretch of OR-62. Crews will work as quickly as conditions allow, with repairs expected to continue until the rain arrives.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes to avoid potential delays, as the closures will impact traffic flow throughout the general area.

UPDATE: ODOT has released the following information on today’s emergency bridge work.

Bridge work is complete on Crater Lake Highway (OR 62) between the Rogue Valley Mall entrance and the Interstate 5 interchange (Exit 30) in [North] Medford. Thank you for your patience
