Hwy 99W Improvements:
72nd Avenue to Highway 217 Interchange
Severe traffic congestion exists on Hwy 99W now, with more traffic anticipated with
future development. High accident rates are attributed to the high number of
driveways and potential conflict points. Changes will need to be made to
improve Hwy 99W, including:
- An additional southbound travel lane will add capacity and improve traffic flow.
- Raised medians will significantly reduce accident rates by reducing the number
of vehicle conflict points. Medians also surprisingly improve traffic flow
because they reduce driver confusion and eliminate many problem driver maneuvers.
- U-turn opportunities will be provided at key traffic signals to maintain access
availability for businesses.
- Aesthetic improvements in the corridor will provide a much better business environment.
Construction is expected to begin in 2010, and will be funded by developers.
Tigard and ODOT will work to minimize traffic disruption and ensure good business
access throughout this work.
