BANDON – ODOT plans to close U.S. 101 south of Bandon for one weekend in September to replace a culvert deep under the highway in difficult terrain. The closure, scheduled for Friday night to Sunday night, Sept. 19-21, will allow contractors to dig down more than 20 feet to remove the failing pipe and install a larger culvert. The work zone is sandwiched between a steep slope on one side of the highway, wetlands on the other and a stream that snakes its way in between. There are no local road connections around the work zone. Read more about 101 closed Friday night to Sunday night, Sept. 19-21 so no going to Bandon those days
