7/29 – 8/9: Full Closure of Intersection at 35th St. & Campus Way

Posted on by

The City of Corvallis and OSU are collaborating on a project to improve the pedestrian crossing at SW 35th St. and SW Campus Way.

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.
