LONGVIEW — The project to expand a portion of Silver Falls Road to four lanes is nearing completion. Beginning today, Silver Falls Road will reopen to two-way traffic from Marshall Avenue, U.S. Highway 80, to Pine Tree Road. One southbound lane will remain closed between Birch and Pine Tree Road while minor construction continues for several weeks.
The purpose of the construction was to widen the road from two lanes to four lanes between Birch Drive and Pine Tree Road. The project was approved by voters as part of the Capital Improvements Bond Election in May 2007. Construction began in August 2009 by Longview Bridge and Road of Longview.
