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.

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

intersection of North 2nd Street and Riverside Drive in Hood River.
