Project-Details

U.S. 101 Lincoln City Curb Ramps

Construction Phase

Region 2: Willamette Valley and Northwest Oregon (Lincoln City, Lincoln)

We're upgrading and installing new curb ramps to improve accessibility for all.

Impacts

Traffic Impact

Night of July 9, expect single lane closures on southbound U.S. 101 near Shearwater Inn and crews working 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. You may see crews wrapping up various tasks through the end of July.

Construction Impacts

You can expect:

Crews working at night, July 9 from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on July 10.
Crews working during the day the week of July 21 installing permanent signs.
Single-lane closures on southbound U.S. 101 near Shearwater Inn.
Pedestrian detour for the area at night.
Construction noise and debris.

We plan to have this work wrapped up for the summer by the end of July and will return after Labor Day on September 3.

See which corners we're looking at by visiting our interactive map. We'll update the map as the project progresses – some location may change.

Construction Activities

You'll see our crew out the night of July 9 near NE First Street and the Shearwater Inn while we drill. We're taking a closer look at the possibility of building a new retaining wall. You may notice some extra nighttime noise during this work.

The week of July 21, you'll see our crew installing permanent signs, like street and stop signs, along the project area. This work should not impact traffic but please drive with caution past our crew and through the work zone.

Visit TripCheck for the most current traffic information.

Pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will have access through or around work zones.

Pay attention in the work zone, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work!

Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers.

Remember: fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.

About

Whether you drive, ride, walk or roll, we are committed to providing the best accessibility possible to all people using the transportation system.

One of the ways we are doing this is by rebuilding or installing ADA curb ramps in Lincoln City. We're adding textured plates at the curb ramps, called truncated domes. These allow pedestrians to feel, see and hear where the crossing is located and the direction they should go to safely cross the street.

Why are ADA curb ramps important?

ADA curb ramps make it easier for people to move between the sidewalk and road. This can be helpful for those who have trouble stepping up and down high curbs. It's also helpful for people using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, hand carts and bicycles.

By making curb ramps gently slope to the road, it improves accessibility and makes it easier for everyone to get around, whether they have a disability or not.

Why aren’t all the curb ramps in my community being fixed at the same time?

For this project, we will group and rebuild curb ramps in batches at various locations.

Not all intersections or curb locations are the same. Some are construction-ready and others may have fire hydrants, utility boxes, utility poles, additional land requirements or we need an environmental permit. These are things we consider when scheduling the curb ramp construction in each city.

The construction-ready locations are done first because they can be done immediately while those needing additional coordination or design will be part of a future batch or stage of construction. This is why an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times. Click here to sign up for email updates.
