Knife River Materials will be closing Viewpoint Drive between Foothill Road and Farmington Avenue between Wednesday, May 22 and Friday, June 7 to install underground utilities.
Traffic will be detoured from Farmington Avenue to Cedar Links Drive or Colonial Avenue to Delta Waters Road. A flagger will be on site while construction crews are working to assist residents with access to their driveways.
The work is part of the $62 million Foothill Road project being constructed in part due to a $15 million Federal Build Grant received by Medford. It improves Foothill Road from Delta Waters Road south to Hillcrest Road.
When complete at the end of 2026, the existing two-lane road will feature two lanes in each direction, along with turn lanes, sidewalks, bike lanes and street lighting.
Project information and current construction schedule (subject to change) is available here.
