About

Enlarged Project Area MapWe're improving a two mile rough section of pavement on OR 18 by the OR 99W interchange. The repairs are needed to preserve the road, reduce maintenance costs and give you a smoother ride.

We are: 

  • Keeping the existing road alignment.
  • Reviewing existing drains to make sure they are operating correctly. 
  • Removing and replacing the driving surface.
  • Maintaining height for vehicles under existing overhead sign and signal crossings. 
  • Replacing curb ramps as needed to meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
  • Installing new permanent striping.​

We are planning to build and will have a better idea about the construction schedule and cost as we get further in design.
