Weekly Roadwork News

Highlights for the week ending July 10, 2009 (posted 7/2/09)

Happy 4th of July Weekend!

With the busy travel time of the Independence Day holiday weekend, Washington County encourages motorist to be alert and drive slow in work zones.

There are many activities happening this 4th of July weekend that Oregon State Police, county sheriff offices and city police agencies will step up extra enforcement efforts Friday afternoon through Sunday in order to reduce crashes, injuries and associated deaths during the weekend.

Also, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will suspend construction work that impacts lanes between noon Friday, July 3, and midnight Sunday, July 5. Although actual roadwork will pause for the holiday, work zones will still be marked and require slower speeds. Motorists should be aware of the possibility of highway shoulders being impacted or construction activity taking place behind barriers during the weekend. Even when workers are not present, all Work zone speed limits still apply and fines double. Inactive work zones still have equipment, detours, temporary lane alignment changes and incomplete changes in the Roadway so drivers need to slow down and be alert.

  • Portland’s firework display on the 4th of July
  • Hillsboro 4th of July Parade (8 - 11:30 a.m. on Main Street)
