SALEM, Ore. — Construction activities will impact traffic around the intersection of State and 25th streets SE through October of this year.
Activities for a Capital Improvement Project began May 12 at that intersection and are expected to continue intermittently through October. Traffic control will be set up to the east and west along State Street and south along 25th Street SE.
The project includes construction of accessible curb ramps and sidewalk, installation of a pedestrian island, modification and extension of an existing median island and signal improvements. This safety-oriented project is intended to reduce vehicle crashes, increase pedestrian visibility and bring the intersection up to current ADA standards.
This project is funded through Oregon Department of Transportation All Roads Transportation Safety Program, with the City’s match share coming from State Gas Tax Revenue.

Some night work will be necessary to complete this project. Pedestrians and drivers should use caution, expect some delays and follow traffic-control signage.
