PENDLETON — A significant section of Southeast Byers Avenue will be closed for the next three months as the city of Pendleton reconstructs and widens the road.

The city will pay KSH Construction of Bend just under $1 million to repair Southeast Byers from Sixth Street to 12th Street. According to a public notice, KSH will close the street to nonlocal traffic on July 13 with the project slated to finish by Oct. 31.

Contractors will also use the opportunity to do repairs on several side streets, including work on Eighth and 12th streets from Byers to Court Avenue.
