U.S. 30 ADA Curb Ramp Upgrades

Construction Phase

Region 1: Portland metro and Hood River County (Hood River, Hood River)


​​​​​​We are improving safety and access for all by upgrading sidewalk curb ramps to the current Americans with  Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards on a section of U.S. 30 (Cascade Avenue and Oak Street in Hood  River). This will help everyone who uses the sidewalks along the highway. We will upgrade or construct new sidewalk curb ramps from Mt. Adams Avenue to E 2nd Street.​

Impacts

Traffic Impact

​There will be temporary impacts to Cascade Avenue, Oak Street and nearby streets during construction. Expect periodic lane closures with flaggers directing traffic and for shoulders, parking spaces and sections of sidewalk to be closed temporarily during construction. There may be some short-term closures of side streets. We will provide accessible paths around the work zones for people walking, biking and rolling. We will maintain access for customers of nearby businesses during business hours. Check TripCheck.com for real-time traffic conditions.

​Construction Progress Update
Downtown core of the project (1st Street to 6th Street)
  • The ADA curb ramps on the NE corner of Oak Street and 3rd Street are the final ramps under construction in the downtown core. Pedestrian detours are in place while work is happening. 
  • Remaining work downtown includes striping, sign installation, minor paving and concrete corrective work. Expect short-term lane closures during this work.
  • Due to several unforeseen circumstances, work in this section will not finish before the Memorial Day holiday weekend as originally planned. The new estimate for work completion is early June.
West end of the project (7th Street to Mt. Adams Avenue)
  • Work is ongoing in this section including upgrading the remaining ADA ramps, striping and sign installation.
  • The 24/7 lane closure at Oak Street and 13th Street will continue into June.
  • The remaining work in this section is expected to finish in July.

Construction is scheduled for late 2024 through summer 2025. Each corner may take up to three weeks to complete. We will work on several corners at the same time. We will maintain access to all businesses during business hours.

Most work is expected to take place during the day. Some nighttime work may take place to minimize traffic impacts. For any-noise related concerns associated with nighttime work, contact the 24/7 noise hotline at (503) 294-1301.

Other Upcoming Work in the City of Hood River

In July 2025, we'll begin upgrading the sidewalk curb ramps at the intersection of North 2nd Street and Riverside Drive in Hood River. ​
