Progress update: southbound OR 99W on-ramp to OR 217 north now open

Crews prepare for shoulder paving during the OR 99W on-ramp closure.

Future traffic impacts

Heads up! These impacts are expected to begin in the near future. We will provide more details as they become available.

• Full nighttime closure of OR 217 in one direction at a time near the Hall Boulevard interchange for multiple nights late summer/early fall. The lanes will fully reopen for daytime traffic. These closures will allow crews to install steel support beams necessary for the widening work on the Hall Boulevard overpass.
• Southbound OR 217 reduced to one lane near the Greenburg Road interchange for one weekend late summer/early fall. The southbound on-ramp from Scholls Ferry Road and the southbound off-ramp to Greenburg Road will also close during this time. This closure will allow crews to rebuild the highway shoulder to support the future auxiliary lane.  

Stay tuned to these email updates for specific dates. We appreciate everyone's patience as we continue work throughout the project area during this busy summer construction season.

What is this project?

The OR 217 Auxiliary Lanes Project will construct auxiliary lanes in both directions of OR 217 between Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and OR 99W. Auxiliary lanes are ramp-to-ramp connections on the highway that help reduce congestion by giving drivers more space and time to merge safely. This decreases conflicts, improves safety and the flow of traffic, and ultimately allows the existing lanes to work more efficiently. We expect up to 73,000 hours of travel time saved each year with these improvements.

We aren't just making improvements to the highway itself. We also need to make the area surrounding OR 217 safer for all users. In partnership with the City of Beaverton and Washington County, we are making targeted improvements to local bicycle and pedestrian routes.
