SALEM, Ore. — Drivers who use McGilchrist Street SE should be aware that eastbound traffic is closed through the end of the year between 22nd Street SE and 25th Street SE.
Local access will be available to all residences and businesses in the area. Signs pointing to traffic detours will be in place. Drivers are advised to watch for traffic signs and follow all instructions from crews working in the area.
This work is part of the McGilchrist Complete Street Project, Phase 2 construction. The cost is funded by the voter-approved 2022 Safety and Livability Bond, federal funds, urban renewal and other City funds.
The McGilchrist Complete Street project will transform the current two-lane arterial into a street that provides the necessary elements to support safe movement of goods and people by truck, rail, car, foot and bicycle. People will be able to use this corridor to support economic development in a sustainable manner while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, flooding concerns and improving the water quality for Pringle Creek.
