Clatsop, Tillamook, and Columbia Counties state highway construction update: January 4-11, 2018

 

 

U.S. 101/OR6 Traffic Improvement Project in Tillamook

This project improves traffic operations and performance, and increases safety on U.S. 101 and OR 6 through downtown Tillamook and across Hoquarton Slough.

The project will lengthen the U.S. 101 couplet to the Hoquarton Slough by extending Pacific Avenue north beyond 1st Street and replacing the existing slough bridge with a new four-lane bridge. The new bridge will be up to 5 feet higher than the existing bridge. The project will also widen the travel lanes on Main and Pacific Avenues from 1st to 4th Streets. Turn lanes will be added at key intersections through town. The project also improves the Hoquarton Interpretive Area, and adds gateway elements and downtown beautification.

Travelers can expect daytime and night time work and occasional lane closures.

Look for construction vehicles entering and leaving the highway. 

The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2018.
