The new Crater Lake Parkway signs are in place along the
parkway like this one near the Towne Pump. |
Don't call it the Alameda Bypass,
Kit Carson Way or the East Side Bypass.
Sections of Highway 39 between South Sixth Street and Highway 97
North have been known by many names over the years, but it's now
officially the Crater Lake Parkway.
Crews from the Oregon Department of Transportation began
installing the new Crater Lake Parkway signs Wednesday and
expect to work another three weeks before completing the job.
ODOT officials said motorists should expect minor delays at
installation locations. Installing the signs is the final step
in a community-driven effort to have the section of Highway 39
through Klamath Falls renamed to celebrate Crater Lake National
Park.
The signs are dark blue, instead of the standard green, and
feature the image of Crater Lake.
