Summer construction season gets underway with resurfacing projects in Corvallis
June 10, 2026 - The annual summer road construction season is underway in Corvallis, with two projects that will focus on maintenance at five different locations around Corvallis. Resurfacing work starts this month on portions of Highland Drive, Grant Avenue, Walnut Boulevard, 11th Street and 13th Street.
Work includes asphalt grinding and paving, restriping, and safety improvements. Specific locations and improvements for each area are described below.
Highland, Grant, and Walnut
This project will include grinding and repaving street surfaces, replacing failed stormwater inlets and upgrading sidewalks and pedestrian crossings to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Lanes will be reconfigured for enhancements to pedestrian crossings and buffered bike lanes. This will include curb extensions, marked crosswalks, and a pedestrian refuge island.
Blocks involved in these projects include:
- Highland Dr. from Grant to Cleveland
- Grant Ave. from 29th to 31st
- Walnut Blvd from Circle to Belvue
Work in this area is expected to start on June 22, with periodic street closures in August and early September. More information on these improvements can be found on the project page: Street Resurfacing & Reconstruction - Highland Dr / Grant Ave / Walnut Blvd
