Heavy rains caused a portion of 232nd Dr. to sink and created large cracks in the pavement in the Barton area. The project will install a deep patch of pavement and improve drainage capacity.
Project is in construction phase.

Schedule
The county began the design phase in spring 2019. Construction will begin in October 2021, during the daytime hours. Construction is expected to be complete by November 2021.
Traffic impacts
The road will be closed to through traffic from 7 a.m., Monday, Oct 18 to 5 p.m., Friday, Oct. 29 between OR 224 and OR 212. The detour will route traffic to OR 224 to Amisigger Road to OR 212. During the road closure, access will be provided for local traffic only. The road will be closed to all traffic at the work site, including emergency vehicles.
After the road closure period, construction will continue with intermittent lane closures through Nov. 12 2021, Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. The road will remain open during construction, but there will be lane closures and delays of up to 20 minutes at a time. Travelers will be assisted by flaggers, and are asked to slow down and use caution near the work zone.
While no weekend or night work is planned at this time, it might be needed depending on weather and other conditions.
