Project-Details

Construction Impacts

• ​Short-term single lane​ and shoulder closures in construction areas.
  
• Traffic lights temporarily disabled at some intersections with flaggers directing traffic.
  
• Temporary sidewalk closures with ADA-compliant pedestrian detours.
  
• Short-term bus stop relocations; check www.trimet.org for details.
  
• Temporary on-street parking restrictions.
  
• Daytime and nighttime work.
  

Those working or living in the area may hear the noise from heavy equipment, construction trucks, beeping noise when vehicles are in reverse (required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration), and equipment such as concrete saws, drills and jackhammers. 

A 24-hour noise hotline is available to help resolve any nighttime noise concerns: 503-412-2349.

Schedule

​Construction is expected to start this spring and continue through the end of 2024.

About

The All Roads Transportation Safety Program (ARTS) identifies intersections where a high concentration of crashes occur and then implements proven low-cost measures that help reduce crashes at these locations. The 54 intersections included in this project are along OR 8, OR 10, OR 47 and OR 219 in Washington County (see all work areas on the map below).

Improvements include upgrading traffic signals, lighting, signing and striping, adding buffered bicycle lanes, installing an enhanced pedestrian crossing and adding flashing intersection ahead warning signs. Examples of planned improvements at specific intersections include:

• SW 195th Avenue and SW Farmington Road:
• Add a new crosswalk with a pedestrian-activated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) to reduce crashes between vehicles and pedestrians and increase visibility and driver awareness of a person crossing the road. This new RRFB will make it safer for people to cross Farmington Road and connect neighborhoods with nearby destinations such as bus stops, schools and parks.
• Add sidewalks and pedestrian curb ramps that meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
• Add new street lighting to improve visibility for all users.
• ​OR 47 at Maple Street and B Street:
• ​Add a continuous flashing beacon at both intersections to warn drivers they're approaching an intersection.
• Add new intersection warning signs, road markings, and stop signs approaching these intersections.
• ​OR 219 at SW Burkhalter Road, SW Farmington Road and SW Bald Peak Road:
• ​Add continuous flashing beacons at these three intersections, warning drivers traveling northbound and southbound that they're approaching an intersection.
• Add new intersection warning signs, road markings, and stop signs approaching these intersections.
