Construction in Tigard

Upcoming Construction Projects
Slurry Seal and Paving Projects
Coming Soon: Summer 2013
The hot, dry weather of summer makes for ideal paving conditions. The city contracts for three types of pavement maintenance: slurry seal application, pavement overlay and crack sealing.
Oregon 99W Northbound at I-5 Northbound Safety Project
A 2014 project is planned to improve safety and operations in the area of OR 99W northbound and I-5 northbound, spanning the Tigard/Portland city limits. Once complete, traffic in the area should see a reduction in crashes and a better flow. View ODOT's aerial image.

Project elements include:
  • An additional lane on OR 99W northbound between Coronado Street and 64th Avenue. Along with improved signage, this will help reduce confusion and create better movement between OR 99W north and I-5 north.
  • The off-ramp from I-5 north to OR 99W will be widened to allow for improved flow between the two highways.
  • Shoulder widening and new sidewalks to improve safety for those walking and on bicycles.
Contact Information:
- Lili Boicourt, ODOT Community Affairs Coordinator at 503-731-8247.
Pacific Hwy/99W @ Beef Bend Road
Work should be complete by September 2013
A contractor for the Oregon Dept. of Transportation (ODOT) is beginning construction to widen OR 99W at Beef Bend Road in order to build a dedicated right turn lane for southbound travelers. There have been a high number of rear-end crashes at this intersection and the new right turn lane should significantly reduce the frequency of those incidents.

The majority of the construction will occur during the day, off the highway. There will be intermittent nighttime work with lane closures on OR 99W. No lanes will be closed on the highway during the day. There will also be occasional lane closures on Beef Bend Road at OR 99W. Drivers should be alert to trucks entering and exiting the construction zone on OR 99W and on Beef Bend Road. The adjacent shared-use path will remain open throughout construction.

Contact Information:
- Lili Boicourt, ODOT Community Affairs Coordinator at 503-731-8247.

Tigard Main Street
Plans for Downtown Retrofit & Parking
The Main Street/Green Street Retrofit project will rebuild portions of Main Street to include eco-friendly water quality facilities, new sidewalks, LED street lights, street trees and public art.
Pacific Hwy/Gaarde/McDonald Intersection Improvement
Intersection Improvements Detailed Designs
The project is expected to increase intersection capacity by roughly 30 percent in the afternoon peak hour, 20 percent in the morning peak hour, and 25 percent mid-day and on weekends.
In July, the city approved its fiscal year 2012-2013 budget, which includes $37 million in capital improvement projects. Over the next year, you can expect to see the following projects take shape:

  • A traffic signal will replace the current four-way-stop at the intersection of 72nd Avenue and Dartmouth Street.
  • A sidewalk will be constructed along 92nd Avenue from Tigard High School to Cook Park.
  • The city will construct its third aquifer storage and recovery well.
  • The southern half of Main Street—from the railroad tracks to Pacific Highway (99W)—will see the addition of green street elements like stormwater planters, street trees and landscaping, LED street lights, new sidewalks, and other pedestrian amenities.
  • Soft trails, a playground and restrooms will be built at East Butte Heritage Park. Improvements are also planned for the Summer Creek property and Jack Park.
  • A new segment of the Fanno Creek Trail will be constructed from Main Street to Grant Street.
  • Beyond 2013, look for improvements at the intersection of Pacific Highway and McDonald and Gaarde Streets.
