Cruickshank closed during highway work

A paving project on Highway 18 east of McMinnville this week will close a portion of Cruickshank Road.

Cruickshank, which intersects with Highway 18 near the McMinnville Airport, will be closed at the intersection. Drivers heading toward Salem will need to continue on Highway 18 to the Lafayette Highway intersection, where they can turn south.

A detour will be marked with signs.

Oregon Department of Transportation crews will be working both day and night. Traffic delays are expected through mid-October.
