State Route 124 will remain closed from Bolles Road to Coppei Avenue in Waitsburg until September 18 for environmental remediation work. The closure began August 23 and affects both directions of the highway.

State Route 730 will continue to have flagger-controlled alternating traffic Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. until September 18. The work stretches from the junction of U. S. 12 to the Oregon state line.

Residents traveling between Waitsburg and the Oregon border should plan for delays on both routes. Detour routes are posted for SR-124 closures, and drivers should expect delays on SR-730 during weekday work hours.
