The City of Corvallis and OSU are collaborating on a project to improve the pedestrian crossing at SW 35th St. and SW Campus Way. A pedestrian detour and preliminary work have already been established in this area. A full closure of the intersection is currently scheduled to start on Monday, July 29 through Friday, August 9.

The intersection at SW 35th St. and SW Campus Way will be fully closed in all directions during this time frame.  
Vehicles will be directed to use SW 30th St. as a detour around the closure. Please note: the Benton County Fair will be held July 31 – August 3, which is likely to increase traffic on SW 53rd St. Please follow the detour signs and use SW 30th St. as a detour to avoid delays on SW 53rd St. See map below.
