North Bend residents commuting via SE Tanner Road will soon have to navigate around construction as road restoration is officially scheduled to begin today, following a recent water main break. According to an announcement on the City of North Bend’s website, the issue began on Tuesday when a Sallal Water Association water main gave out near the intersection with North Bend Way, causing notable damage to the road.
Response teams were quick to address this disruption, successfully halting the leak and repairing the water main. Drivers might have already spotted the temporary asphalt patch in the eastbound lane of Tanner Road. This is a placeholder until crews can fully restore the damaged section of the roadway. The city appreciates the public's patience as they work to quickly and safely execute the necessary repairs.
Travelers may experience minor delays during the upcoming roadwork. While the city hasn’t shared full details yet, traffic is likely to be affected once repairs begin. The schedule is still being finalized, but updates will be provided once work starts. Officials are asking everyone to use caution in the area and allow extra time for travel. The full extent of the damage and repair costs is still unknown, but the city is working to complete the restoration as quickly as possible.
