Mosby Creek Road Closed for Tree Removal, Cottage Grove Drivers Advised

Mosby Creek Road will be temporarily closed to traffic in Cottage Grove for tree removal work on Monday November 3 and Tuesday November 4. The closure covers the stretch from milepost 1.2 at the Currin Connector to milepost 1.5 at Row River Connector number 1. Work is scheduled each day from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

The closure affects local commuters, residents, and anyone who uses Mosby Creek Road during daytime hours. Drivers traveling through the area will be directed to use Row River Road as an alternate route for the duration of the work. The short segment closure is intended to allow crews to remove hazardous or obstructive trees safely and to minimize the risk of falling limbs or debris on the roadway.

Planned daytime closures like this are common when vegetation must be cleared near public roads. For Cottage Grove residents the immediate impacts will be detours and occasional delays while crews are on site. People who travel to schools, workplaces, or local businesses near Mosby Creek Road should factor in the scheduled work hours into their morning and afternoon plans. Motorists should follow posted signage and any temporary traffic control measures in place at the site.

The milepost specific closure from Currin Connector to Row River Connector number 1 concentrates work on a short corridor, which allows crews to complete the task within two days and limit disruption to a small area. Row River Road is identified as the recommended alternate route and will absorb the redirected traffic while removal operations are underway.

Local authorities typically schedule such work during daylight hours to maximize visibility and safety for both crews and drivers. Residents who depend on access through the affected section of Mosby Creek Road should plan alternate arrival and departure routes during the listed times. Emergency vehicle access routes and any necessary local accommodations will be managed by the responsible transportation or maintenance teams as work proceeds.

This temporary closure highlights the routine maintenance tasks that keep roadways safe and passable. While the two day schedule is short, it will be important for drivers in Lane County to heed the closure times and use Row River Road to avoid unnecessary delays. Further updates or changes to the schedule would be posted by the agencies responsible for the work.
