Enhance Safety and Accessibility with Oregon 99 Upgrades

Project Details

The Oregon 99 project aims to widen the road from East Glenwood Road to the Coleman Creek Bridge. This expansion will not only improve traffic flow but also add much-needed streetlights at four intersections. Additionally, a new drainage system will be installed to prevent water accumulation during rainy seasons. Multiple mid-block pedestrian crossings with flashing beacons will also be added, enhancing pedestrian and bicycle accessibility.

These improvements are crucial for the safety of both motorists and pedestrians. By widening the road and adding proper lighting and crossing facilities, the risk of accidents can be significantly reduced. The Oregon Department of Transportation is committed to ensuring the well-being of the community through these upgrades.

Work Zone and Lane Closures

Starting Monday, intermittent lane closures will be in effect through the work zone on Oregon 99. This work is expected to continue from Monday to Friday, so drivers are advised to be cautious and plan their routes accordingly. The lane closures will be necessary to carry out the utility work and improvements safely. The Oregon Department of Transportation will provide timely updates and detour information to minimize disruptions to traffic.

Although the lane closures may cause some inconvenience, the long-term benefits of the project outweigh the temporary disruptions. Once the work is completed, Oregon 99 will be a safer and more accessible road for everyone.
