Franklin County Public Works has started some major road repairs. The work began yesterday as they began asphalt repairs throughout the county. As part of these improvements, Oregon Road will be closed from Ellis to Finney Road to allow for the road to be worked on. The closure of this section of road is expected to last about a week, but the timeline may vary due to weather of other conditions. Public Works officials says while no other roads will be fully closed at this time, crews will be working on asphalt repair throughout the county.

They ask motorists driving in those areas to be extra cautious as workers, contractors and road equipment will be in these areas. All the work in Franklin County is weather dependent, but the weather looks good all week. They appreciate your patience and caution as they work to make the roads you travel on as safe and smooth as possible.
