Lane closures on I-5 will only take place during nighttime hours, generally between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The contractor is currently widening the northbound side of the freeway. During the week of Monday, Feb. 8, to Friday, Feb. 12, the contractor will perform daytime shoulder closures on I-5 in both directions, the northbound Victory Blvd off-ramp (exit 306B) and the southbound Columbia Blvd. on-ramp between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The shoulder closures will allow the contractor to remove concrete barrier from the off-ramp and install temporary erosion control measures on the newly constructed slope. Please use caution and watch for trucks entering and exiting the work zone on the northbound Victory Blvd off-ramp (exit 306B). Tuesday, Feb. 9, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning the contractor will close a one lane on I-5 northbound for striping work. This work is weather dependent and could be rescheduled due to rain.
The contractor has opened the new Columbia Blvd. off-ramp (exit 306A). Motorists should be aware that the alignment of the new Columbia Blvd. off-ramp requires motorists to exit
I-5 approximately a quarter-mile to the south of the old Columbia Blvd. off-ramp.

Oregon Highway 217 Modernization Project: TV Highway to Sunset Highway: A contractor is working on a project to add a third through-lane to Highway 217 northbound between Oregon Highway 8 (Tualatin-Valley Highway) and U.S. 26 (Sunset Highway). This project also includes building retaining walls and improving drainage on the highway, lengthening the Wilshire St. overpass, and paving and striping the project area and the Highway 217/U.S. 26 interchange ramps. Lane closures on Highway 217 will only take place from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly.
Currently, only one lane connects Highway 217 northbound to U.S. 26 eastbound. Motorists must use the right lane to travel to U.S. 26 eastbound. Motorists traveling in the center lane of Highway 217 northbound will not be able to access U.S. 26 eastbound. The center lane of Highway 217 northbound will now only continue north to Barnes Road and will not connect to U.S. 26 eastbound. These new lane configurations will be in place for the duration of the project.
During the week of Monday, Feb. 1, through Friday, Feb. 5, the contractor will work on drainage and constructing the retaining wall near the new Wilshire Street overpass and the Wilshire Street off-ramp and continuing to build the retaining wall on Highway 217 north of the Walker Road on-ramp. This work will take place behind a temporary barrier during daytime work hours from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The contractor is constructing a concrete retaining wall along the eastern edge of Highway 217. Between Feb. 1 and April 30, the contractor will access to the construction area from the northern edge of Ridgewood View Park. A staging area also will be placed next to the park access area. The construction access and staging areas will be fenced off to the public. During the work, a portion of the path around the northern part of the park will be closed to public use. The swing set area will remain open. Construction vehicles will enter Ridgewood View Park throughout the three-month construction period via S.W. Wilshire Street, 98th Avenue and Ardenwood Street. Upon completion, Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District will make improvements to Ridgewood View Park.
The contractor is also continuing work to lengthen the Wilshire Street overpass. During the week, the contractor will work on the north end of the overpass; during the work, one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction. Please be aware that work zone speed limits are enforced by enhanced police traffic patrols in the area. Fines will double in this construction zone.

Regional Arterial Traffic Control Enhancement Project: Work is beginning on a project to improve 285 traffic signals along major corridors in the Portland Metro Area. Improvements will include upgrading traffic signal controllers and communication equipment. Select intersections will receive energy efficient signal control cabinets, which will reduce power consumption.
The signal improvements will benefit signal timing and lay the groundwork for future traffic signal improvements. The following corridors will receive the traffic signal improvements:
* Oregon Highway 213 – N.E. and S.E. 82nd Avenue:
41 intersections between N.E. Killingsworth Street and S.E. Sunnybrook Road
* S.W. Barbur Boulevard:
16 intersections between S.W. Hamilton Street and S.W. Capitol Highway
* Oregon Highway 10 - Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway
8 intersections between Oregon 217 and S.W. Laurelwood Avenue
* Oregon Highway 8 - Tualatin-Valley Highway:
51 intersections between U.S. 26 and S.W. 17th Avenue
Signals improvements will also take place on major arterials in the City of Portland, City of Beaverton, City of Gresham, Clackamas County, Multnomah County, and Washington County.
During the week of Monday, Feb. 1, through Friday, Feb. 5, the contractor will install traffic control devices on Highway 8 (Tualatin Valley Highway) between S.W. 7th Avenue in Hillsboro to S.W. 209th Ave. This work will require turning off the traffic signals during the work when the contractor is present at each intersection between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. When the traffic signals are turned off, the intersection will function as a four-way stop. This work also will require right lane closures and sidewalk closures when the contractor is present at each site.
