OR 551 Intersection Improvements

We will add dedicated left turn lanes on both approaches of Ehlen Road and a new county connector road. 

Submit comments

About:

project mapThe OR 551 and Ehlen Road NE intersection has been identified as a location for safety improvements. With the current intersection layout, a car waiting to make a left turn creates congestion. To reduce congestion and improve operations at the intersection we will:

  • Add left turn lanes on Ehlen Road NE approaching OR 551 in both directions. 
  • Add a concrete divider on Ehlen Road NE to limit turns on or off of Boones Ferry Road to right turns only.
  • Construct a county connector road to connect OR 551 and Boones Ferry Road.
  • Remove some trees and bushes on OR 551 and Ehlen Road NE to allow us to widen the road to add the new left turn lane.

For more details about the project, visit the project webpage

Construction and Potential Traffic Impacts:

Construction activities will take place at different times: 

  • Most of the construction will be done at night. 
  • Some daytime work will take place at the OR 551 and Ehlen Road intersection.
  • Small portions of Ehlen Road will likely need to be constructed under 24 hour flagging because the road is not wide enough to maintain two lanes of traffic.

Traffic and movement through the work zone will be controlled by flaggers and lanes will be clearly marked.

Detours may be needed if the construction of Julia Road is not complete before we install the traffic separator. The detour routes will only be necessary for traffic accessing Ehlen Road and Boones Ferry Road. The traffic on OR 551 will mostly be unaffected.

McMinnville Spur Bridge Replacement

We will replace the South Yamhill River Bridge located on the McMinnville spur section, Three Mile Lane, between OR 18 and downtown McMinnville. 

Submit comments

About:

Project mapThe South Yamhill River Bridge was built in 1951, is in poor condition and needs to be replaced. 

We will replace the existing 35 foot wide South Yamhill River Bridge with a new 49 foot wide bridge that will better accommodate trucks, vehicle traffic, bicyclists and pedestrians.

The bridge will have seven foot wide shoulders and a five foot six inch walkway. We will install decorative street lighting for the bridge walkways. 

Construction and Potential Traffic Impacts:

We will build a temporary diversion bridge to the west of the existing bridge. This temporary bridge will allow us to remove the existing bridge and build the new bridge at the same alignment with the highway. The temporary bridge will be wider than the existing road, with a 29 foot roadway and six foot walkway. 

Timing:

Construction will begin in 2021 and is expected to last four years.

2021

  • We will build a temporary diversion bridge to the west of the existing bridge. 

2022-2023

  • We will build the connections from the road to the temporary diversion bridge. Our crews will mostly be working off of the existing roadway. 
  • After we build the connections, we will route traffic to the diversion bridge, remove the existing bridge and construct the new bridge. 

2024

  • We will complete the construction of the new bridge and rebuild connections to the roadway.
  • We will construct a sanitary sewer line along Three Mile Lane.
    • During this time expect delays and road closures to a single lane of traffic controlled by flaggers. 

When we have a contractor we will be able to share a more specific schedule, sign up to receive construction updates, or visit TripCheck for the most up to date information. 

Location:

McMinnville Spur, Three Mile Lane | South Yamhill River Bridge.

Bridge Screening

We will install protective bridge screening to help prevent objects from being dropped onto the roadway below.

Submit comments

About:

project mapWe will install protective bridge screening to help prevent objects from being dropped onto the roadway below. These falling objects could injure motorists and pedestrians or create road hazards. 

Construction and Potential Traffic Impacts:

We will need to close a lane on OR 22 under the section of the bridge where our crews are working. The closed lane will shift as the crews install the screening on the other side of the bridge.

Our plan is to start with the Albus Road SE bridge and move west, ending with the Lancaster Drive SE. To find out the most up to date information during construction visit TripCheck or sign up to receive construction updates

Timing:

Construction may begin in late December 2020 and continue through April 2021.

Enhanced Pedestrian Crossing

We will install a pedestrian crosswalk on OR 99E in Woodburn.

Submit comments

About:

project mapWe will install a crosswalk at the intersection of OR 99E and Williams Avenue to make the area safer for pedestrian by:

  • Installing flashing beacons to warn drivers that pedestrians are crossing.
  • Building a median island. 
  • Adding a new streetlight and make the existing streetlight brighter to increase visibility. 

Construction and Potential Traffic Impacts:

Our crews have the option to work during the following times:

  • Sunday night at 7 p.m. through Friday at 12 p.m., work can be done daily except for three hours in the morning from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and in the evening from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. 
  • No work will be done from Friday at 12 p.m. to Sunday at 7 p.m.

When we have a contractor we will be able to share a more specific schedule, sign up for construction updates, or visit TripCheck for the most up to date information. 

Expect to see single lane closures, some delays and traffic control. Pedestrians will be detoured around the immediate work area where ramps are being constructed. Bicycle traffic will remain on the roadway during construction with signs to alert drivers.

Timing:

Construction will begin in 2021.

Location:

OR 99E | Williams Avenue intersection.

Construction Continues

Road Work SignWe have one project already under construction that will continue into 2021.

About:

Rumble strips are grooves in the pavement that create vibration and sound to alert motorists when they are leaving a lane. Rumble strips can reduce the number of roadway departure fatalities (by 20%) on the targeted highway segments, making them a successful, low-cost countermeasure.

Construction and Potential Traffic Impacts:

During construction, expect localized noise as the rumble strips are ground into the pavement by machinery. Access to highways will not be affected; however, motorists should anticipate temporary lane closures with flaggers controlling traffic, creating short delays.

Project Area MapProject Location Information

Timing:

This project started in 2020 to install rumble strips at 19 locations across the region. The work at each location is expected to be completed in 2021.

Locations:

Various locations throughout the region. See the project map and schedule for the specific sections where work needs to be completed.

Most of the projects we are constructing in 2021 are still in design. This means that some of the details for construction staging and traffic control plans might not be known yet. We plan on hosting another online open house in either March or April of 2021 that will have additional project information on construction and traffic impacts.

Since the projects are still being designed, your feedback is important to help us deliver the best project for your community. If you have any questions, comments, concerns or considerations that we should know about as we wrap up design and gear up for construction, please let us know. If there are other accessibility concerns in your area that are not being addressed through these projects, please complete our Concern, Question, Comment or Request form so that our staff is aware of the issue.
