Weekly Roadwork News

We've got paint and other late breaking news (posted 8/27/10)
Do not drive on wet paint

Good news for stripes on Washington County roads: We received a shipment of road striping paint, so county crews will be striping roads over the weekend and for as long as the paint and the weather last. And the contract with our night striping contractor has been expanded to include 160 additional miles of road striping, so they will continue working beyond the original August 27 end date. They also plan to stripe roads over the weekend. Major roads that carry the most traffic will be painted first. Motorists are reminded to not drive over the wet stripes.

Paving scheduled for today on 185th Avenue south of Kinnaman has been delayed due to equipment breakdown. The work will be rescheduled for next Monday or Tuesday.



Highlights for the week ending September 3, 2010 (posted 8/27/10)
Seat Belt Blitz

Starting Monday, August 30, law enforcement agencies statewide will be working overtime to improve safety on Oregon’s roadways. In addition to traditional efforts aimed at reducing drunk and drugged driving, officers will monitor safety belt usage, with a particular emphasis on child passengers.

Watch for bicycles participating in the Beaverton, Banks and Beyond ride this Saturday, August 28,

The Hood to Coast Relay started this morning at Timberline Lodge and ends tomorrow, August 28, on the beach at Seaside. Be prepared to encounter event-related traffic if you travel north of Washington County.

Main Street in Tigard will be closed Sunday evening, August 29, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. as part of the 99W at Hall and Greenburg/Main project.

Expect delays at the Kaiser/Bethany and Kaiser/Laidlaw intersections through September 3 for paving, striping, sidewalk, street lighting and signal work. Flaggers will be on site. The contractor is working extended days to finish the job before school starts.

A crosswalk and a Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon will be installed at the Bethany and St. Andrews Drive intersection this week.

Asphalt overlay paving continues on neighborhood streets in the urban unincorporated area. This work is funded by the Urban Road Maintenance District.
 
The final layer of the chip seal treatment will be applied on Grabhorn, Vanderschuere, Mountain Home, Kruger, Elligsen, 65th, Norwood and 82nd.

Community Service crews will be maintaining landscape along the east side of 185th Avenue from the MAX tracks to Walker Road this weekend, August 28 and 29. County crews plan to cut brush and trim trees along Gales Creek Road from Sheelar Lane to Hwy 6 and Tile Flat Road from Farmington to Scholls Ferry.

Drainage maintenance crews will be working along Farmington Road from River Road to 209th and on Clark Hill Road from Farmington to Scholls Ferry. The bridge crew will be repairing a bulkhead on the Dairy Creek Road bridge just north of Mountaindale Road.

After successful repairs by county crews, the weight limit has been removed from the bridge over Fanno Creek on Oleson Road. The weight limit was set in January after rot was identified in wooden components, a common problem on aging timber structures. With removal of the weight limit, trucks are once again allowed to haul legal loads across the bridge.

Multnomah County's scheduled paving of Sauvie Island Road has been delayed due to equipment problems.

ODOT has started a project to pave Farmington Road from 198th to Kinnaman. All lanes will remain open during daytime hours. Work requiring lane closures and flagging will occur at night. Paving is scheduled to start after Labor Day. Washington County is providing funding for this long needed repaving project. For more information about the project, contact ODOT at 503-731-8281. To report incidents requiring immediate attention, call 503-283-5859 (24-hour coverage).

Expect intermittent flagging on Highway 219 (Hillsboro Highway) between Midway Road and McFee Creek. Work is underway on ODOT's safety project to realign the sharp curve known as "Browns Corner" and improve sight distance at Wolsborn Avenue.
