Road Closures

This section contains details about road closures currently in place in Waze, usually through disconnecting of segments to prevent Waze from routing along a certain stretch of road. If you perform a closure in Waze, please document it here so other area managers can ensure the roads are reconnected at the appropriate time.

Old McKenzie Pass Hwy OR242 AlanOfTheBerg 2015-11 2016-07

Both gates closed for the winter. Heavy snowfall will likely keep the highway closed well into the summer.

KEEP THE FOLLOWING FOR FUTURE REFERENCE:

Area Places for the closure gates should be large in the winter for better app visibility. Shrink the area in the summer.

West-end Gate @ MP61.91

East-end Gate @ MP83.71

Future New or Realigned Roads

Large road construction projects often have website project pages and give notice to the public prior to starting. If we stage these roads in Waze and have them ready to deploy when they open to the public, Waze will be a leader in update map providers.

I-5 @ Exit 24 Fern Valley Interchange (Phoenix) April 2014 - 2016 The Fern Valley interchange is expected to be constructed using a 'crossing' or 'diverging diamond' design that provides a higher capacity to move traffic while requiring lower right-of-way needs.
