Medford residents and visitors, mark your calendars and plan your routes accordingly as the city announces upcoming lane closures that will affect several streets. Hydromax USA LLC will be inspecting piped utilities on behalf of Avista Utilities from December 19 through December 23, according to the City of Medford. These inspections are scheduled during the daytime, and flaggers will be present to guide traffic.

The work on Roberts Road, which stretches from Crater Lake Avenue to Temple Drive, can cause intermittent lane closures, as per the city's notice. Commuters should expect similar interruptions on Springbrook Road, from Delta Waters Road to Bell Court. Both locations will see closures from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., respectively, as detailed by the City of Medford. Motorists should anticipate delays and, where possible, seek alternative routes to circumvent the impacted areas.

Additionally, inspections on Ellendale Drive from Greenwood Street to Barnett Road will follow the same schedule as Springbrook Road. Airport Road is also on the list, with disruptions expected from Milligan Way to Biddle Road. The suggested time for travelers to use these routes is before 8 a.m. or after 4 p.m. to avoid the scheduled work.

Officials from the city remind everyone to exercise patience, "Travelers should expect delays associated with this work and are advised to seek alternate routes and parking," as stated by the City of Medford.
