Motorists traveling along SW Ramsey Avenue should expect traffic delays on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, as crews conduct underground utility installations between Nebraska Avenue and SW Grandview Avenue. The work is scheduled to take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with active lane closures in effect throughout the day.
Traffic control will be managed by flaggers to guide vehicles safely through the construction zone. While no official detours will be set up, drivers are strongly encouraged to plan ahead, use alternate routes, and allow for additional travel time to avoid potential congestion. The work zone is located along a busy corridor in Grants Pass that connects several neighborhoods and commercial areas, making it a route frequently used by commuters and local traffic.
Emergency vehicles will be permitted to pass through the area at all times to ensure public safety and maintain response capabilities during the project.
The lane closures are part of planned underground utility installations by Robco, a contractor responsible for infrastructure improvements in the area. Such projects are essential for maintaining and upgrading utility services to meet growing community needs. Temporary traffic disruptions are expected to be limited to the workday, with all lanes scheduled to reopen by the evening.
City officials and project contractors are advising drivers to use caution, follow the instructions of traffic control personnel, and exercise patience while the work is underway. For more information regarding the project or traffic impacts, residents and commuters can contact Robco at (541) 476-2132.
