SR 20 roadway and sidewalk improvements in Oak Harbor
OAK HARBOR - Construction began July 9 to repair worn asphalt and improve sidewalks along State Route 20 in Oak Harbor. The work requires weeknight sidewalk and lane closures between Harns and Case roads.
Starting at 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, flaggers will alternate each direction of traffic on SR 20 using a single lane through the work zone until 5 a.m. Travelers should expect delays and consider alternate routes during construction hours.
