Traffic Impact

The OR 141 (SW Hall Boulevard) ADA Ramp Improvement Project is Complete

Updated Oct. 4, 2023

We invested more than $5 million to create safer and more accessible highway connections for all sidewalk users along 1.25 miles of SW Hall Boulevard from SW Scholls Ferry Road to SW Locust Street.

The improvements comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and improve safety and accessibility for all sidewalk users, including people using mobility devices and people with visual impairments. These upgrades create safer highway connections to housing, employment and businesses in the area. Thank you for your patience during this project.

Please note: Other projects in the area are still underway. See below for more project-related information. For the most up-to-date traffic impacts please visit www.TripCheck.com.

OR 99W Paving Project

ODOT is working on a project on OR 99W between I-5 and McDonald Street to pave, build new sidewalks and bicycle lanes, upgrade sidewalk curb ramps, repair bridges and make safety improvements in the intersection with SW Johnson/Main Street. For more information please visit the project website.

OR 141: SW Hall Boulevard: Pedestrian Safety Improvements including Two Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons

In partnership with the City of Tigard and Washington County, ODOT is working on a project to enhance safety on SW Hall Boulevard by installing two new enhanced pedestrian crossings, or Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, across SW Hall Boulevard at the intersections of SW Hemlock Street in unincorporated Washington County and SW Spruce Street within the City of Tigard. Additional work includes constructing new sidewalk, new lighting and improving sidewalk curb ramps to meet ADA requirements. The project begins the design phase in 2023, with construction anticipated in 2025. For more information please visit the project website.

Oregon 217 Auxiliary Lanes Project

ODOT is working on a project to improve safety and reduce bottlenecks on OR 217 by adding auxiliary lanes, or ramp to ramp connections, between Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and OR 99W. Work began in December 2021 and continues through 2025. In partnership with the City of Beaverton and Washington County, we are making targeted improvements to local bicycle and pedestrian routes. New bike lanes and sidewalks will be installed on Hall Blvd between Scholls Ferry Road and SW Cascade Avenue. The Hall Blvd bridge over OR217 between OR99W and SW Pfaffle Street will be replaced. For more information please visit the project website.

Willamette Water Supply

The Willamette Water Supply Program is adding seismically-resilient water supply for Tualatin Valley Water District, City of Hillsboro, and City of Beaverton water customers. This project started in March 2023 and is currently under construction along the Hall Blvd corridor. For more information please visit the project website.

Portland & Western Railroad

Railroad track work was completed in June at two locations on SW Hall Boulevard between between Commercial and Burnham streets and between Cascade and Nimbus avenues. In both locations, the railroad replaced existing ties and rails and stabilized equipment on the tracks. The work resulted in a smooth transit for vehicles crossing the tracks. More details available here.

OR 141: SW Hall Boulevard from SW 92nd Avenue to SW Pfaffle Street

ODOT, in coordination with the City of Tigard, lowered the speed limit from 40 mph to 30 mph on OR 141 (SW Hall Boulevard) between SW 92nd Avenue and SW Pfaffle Street. The new reduced speed limit and posted speed limit signs went into effect the week of March 20.

Lower vehicle speeds can decrease the severity of crashes, particularly in pedestrian and bike collisions and may also allow drivers more time to see and react to vulnerable road users and obstacles. In the Portland metro region, excessive speed and driver impairment combine to be the second leading cause of fatal and disabling crashes.

Speed Zones in Oregon are established through an engineering study completed by ODOT and follows a full review of roadway characteristics including crash history, traffic volumes, highway geometry, roadside culture and density.

Schedule

Construction began in fall 2022. The project was completed in fall 2023.
