Baker Road asphalt overlay to delay traffic

Next Wednesday, Deschutes County road crews will begin work to install an asphalt overlay on Baker Road from the Highway 97 overpass to Brookswood Boulevard.

Drivers can expect delays of up to 20 minutes during construction, officials said.

Crews will primarily be working from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but will complete some night work between the Highway 97 overpass and the railroad tracks.

Traffic will be limited to one lane and drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes when possible.
