About:
The intersection of U.S. 101 and Perkins Lane in Warrenton has frequent and severe crashes, most of which are caused by cars turning.
To reduce the potential and severity of the crashes, we will explore safety improvements including:
- Install left turn lane for northbound U.S.101 traffic, wanting to turn onto OR 104 to downtown Warrenton.
- Install a concrete separator.
- Install additional lighting at the intersection.
Construction and Traffic Impacts:
We plan for construction to take place at night. Travelers may experience traffic delays during construction times.
Timing:
Construction is estimated to start in late 2021 or in early 2022.
Location
Milepost 9.48 on U.S. 101
Improve safety by upgrading and making improvements to signals.About:
The purpose of this project is to reduce fatal and serious intersection crashes. This will be done by upgrading the equipment and using a combination of technology and visual enhancements.
We will be improving six intersections in Scappoose, five in St. Helens, one in Columbia City, two in Clatskanie, one in Rainier and five in Astoria.
At the identified intersections, we will:
- Replace signal heads where needed.
- Install reflective backplates behind the signal heads. This will draw the driver's eyes to the signal and increase their awareness and response to the traffic control device.
- Install advanced dilemma zone protection. This will enhance safety by adjusting the traffic control signal timing to reduce the number of drivers that may have difficulty deciding whether to stop or proceed during a yellow phase.
- Install video, thermal or radar detection at the intersections. This will adjust the timing of the signal from turning red while there are still cars in the intersection.
- Install new or modified lane use signs to help drivers navigate which lanes to use when approaching the intersection.
- Install new supplemental traffic signal heads –these are added to lights that do not currently have the lights with an arrow indicating it is okay to turn. These extra signal heads will mean drivers who want to turn and cross traffic at an intersection won't have to yield to oncoming traffic, they can turn at the prompt of a dedicated turn signal.
Construction and Traffic Impacts:
Periodic lane closures will be needed. The current plan is to:
- Keep one lane of traffic open in each direction when possible. There are times when the width of the road will mean closing one lane, at which time the work zone will be controlled by flaggers.
- Work on one traffic signal per intersection at a time.
- Work on one intersection on a corridor at a time.
Timing:
Construction will begin in 2021.
Locations:
Various locations in Astoria, Clatskanie, Columbia City, Rainier, St. Helens, Scappoose
To create a more uniform and reliable curve warning system across the United States, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has required that all curve signs meet the new standards.About:
Over 50% of Oregon's curve warning and curve advisory speed signs do not meet current national standards. This is because of outdated technologies used in initial curve analysis, changes in driving habits, improvements in vehicle safety features and inconsistent curve advisory speed changes that have happened over the past several decades.
Upgrading and installing new signs will improve safety by having consistent curve advisory speeds and signs that meet the national standards.
Because many curves have posted advisory speeds that are lower than the current standards for safe driving, drivers often do not follow them. Instead, drivers travel five, ten, or more miles per hour over the posted advisory speed.
Construction and Potential Traffic Impacts:
Travelers can expect lane closures and delays up to 20 minutes where work is taking place.
TripCheck.com will have the most up to date information on where work is being done and what the traffic impacts may be.
Timing:
This project will be constructed in 2021.

The project will:
- Repair damaged concrete
- Install cathodic protection
- Replace joints
- Bearing replacement
- Raise the lift span tower
Construction and Potential Traffic Impacts:
Most of the work that impacts the travel lanes will be done at night. There may be times when one lane closures occur to accommodate the equipment needed for the work and activities being done underneath the bridge.
A 14 day full night closure will occur in 2021 to replace the lift span bracing. During the night closures, traffic will detour onto the U.S. 101 Business route.
Timing:
This project is expected to be completed in late 2021.
Location:
U.S. 101 – New Youngs Bay Bridge
About:
This project is to replace the more than 50 year old bridge whose timber deck is in poor condition. As part of the project, we will also realign and widen the existing roadway and provide new striping and traffic signs. New bridge guardrails and other improvements will be made to the wayside.
The road realignment will improve visibility for local residents, road and river users using Farmer Creek Road and coming in and out of the wayside.
Construction and Potential Traffic Impacts:
There will be lane restrictions and flagging for the duration of the project.
The wayside and boat launch will be CLOSED for stages during construction. Closure information and alternate boat launch information is posted at the wayside. During closures, river users will need to use alternate launches. To the north, use First Bridge Launch and to the south, you can use the Three Rivers Boat Ramp.
The most up to date traffic impacts and road closure information will be on TripCheck.com.
Timing:
This project is expected to be completed in late 2020 or early 2021.
