TIGARD -- All southbound OR 217 ramps will remain open this weekend. The contractor will proceed with some paving work on the Hall Boulevard overpass and the northbound Denney Road ramps over the next few days. The southbound ramps will be paved during the 2025 paving season, along with the remainder of the project limits, as previously planned. 

Nighttime OR 217 directional closures between Greenburg Road and OR 99W continue until Oct. 3

Here’s what you need to know about the remaining nights of work:  

  • All southbound lanes on OR 217 from Greenburg Road to OR 99W will fully close overnight:
    • Overnight on Oct. 2 and 3 between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night 
    • All southbound drivers will exit OR 217 at the Greenburg Road off-ramp.
    • On-ramps leading up to the closure area will also close from Hall Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road, and Greenburg Road.
    • There may also be single lane closures in the opposite direction while the beams are being set. 
  • All northbound lanes of OR 217 from OR 99W to Greenburg Road will fully close overnight:
    • Overnight on Sept 27, 28, 30, and Oct. 1 between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night (reopening by 6 a.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. on Sunday).
    • All northbound drivers will exit at the OR 99W off-ramp.
    • On-ramps leading up to the closure area will also close from 72nd Avenue and OR 99W.
    • There may also be single lane closures in the opposite direction while the beams are being set.
Revised: Nighttime OR 217 closure map Sept. 2024

One direction of OR 217 at a time will close for several nights between Sept. 23-Oct. 3

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.
