Highway 20

Newport is hoping to revitalize its city center. One idea on the table involves a complete overhaul of Highway 101.

Highway 20 from the Lincoln County line to Philomath has been a focus for the Benton County Sheriff’s Office this year because of the spike in driver deaths.

The spike in fatalities along Highway 20 between Newport and Philomath has not gone unnoticed by state highway officials, police agencies and anyone who drives it.

The Waldport community and educators at its two schools are reeling from the death of a beloved second-grade teacher in a head-on crash Tuesday on U.S. Highway 20 east of Blodgett.

The City of Newport declared an Emergency on Saturday evening due to impacts from the winter storm that swept much of the region.

Crash rates along U.S. Highway 20 in Lincoln County have fallen enough that ODOT has decided to remove the “safety corridor” designation.

UPDATE: The DOT now says "the planned U.S. 20 construction closure east of Sweet Home has been delayed until Sunday, September 11 for traveler safety. The road will be open Friday and Saturday. Drive carefully and be prepared if you travel this weekend. Hot, dry winds may prompt power line shutoffs to prevent fires. Treat traffic signals without power like a four-way stop. Trees and vegetation may be on the road. In dry conditions, be careful parking to prevent vehicle-sparked fires. Visit TripCheck.com for the latest traffic conditions."
