What to expect

In late summer 2025, travelers will see SR 109 reduced to one lane of alternating traffic. The lane reduction allows crews to gather information for design of the proposed bridge structures. The structures will replace two outdated culverts under the highway. 

Proposed timeline for construction:

  • Fall 2025 – Potential for utility relocation.
  • Spring 2026 – Start of temporary bypass roads construction and relocation of remaining utilities.
  • Summer 2026 – Temporary detour road opens to one-way alternating traffic.
  • Fall 2026 – Construction completed at milepost 37.4 and 33.8.
  • Winter 2026/Spring 2027 – Potential for non-weather dependent work that is not inside each stream.
  • Summer 2027 – Construction resumes.
  • Fall 2027 – Construction completed at mileposts 36.4, 36.8, and 33.1.
