Lincoln City ADA Curb Ramps
|
 Over the next few weeks, you can expect to see our crews working between SE 9th Street and NE 35th Street. Please use caution when driving through the area.
Here are a couple of answers to some recent and common questions our team gets!
|
Sometimes drivers see the “lane closed ahead" sign in a work zone and either slow too quickly or even come to a complete stop before merging. This can lead to dangerous lane switching, serious crashes and even road rage.
Here's what you should do:
- When you see the “lane closed ahead" sign, stay in your current lane.
- As you approach the merge point, take turns with other drivers to ease into the remaining lane, like the teeth of a zipper.
Why? It's safer and keeps traffic flowing!
Merging like a zipper may take a change in your mindset. Many of us were taught to merge early when we see an opening. It may feel like you're being “cut off" by vehicles moving into your lane at the merge point.
By being patient and taking turns at the merge point, we're each doing our part to safely share the road. Your cooperation can help prevent crashes, keep traffic moving smoothly and our workers safe.

We're grouping and rebuilding curb ramps in batches at various locations.
Not all intersections or curb locations are the same. Some are construction-ready and others may have fire hydrants, utility boxes, utility poles, additional land requirements or we need an environmental permit. These are things we consider when scheduling the curb ramp construction in each city.
The construction-ready locations are completed first because they can be done immediately. Those needing additional coordination or design will be part of a future batch or stage of construction. This is why an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times.
|
We know that construction isn't convenient for anyone, whether you drive, ride, walk, roll or shop in the area.
To help you see where to go, we use blue signs and markers to show business entrances or accesses to parking lots. As a reminder, businesses are open during construction – and your support during this dusty time is appreciated!
When in doubt – look for blue to help guide you to a nearby business!

- Crews working Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
- Shoulder and lane closures as needed.
- Delays with flaggers helping direct traffic as needed.
- Construction noise – using saws to cut concrete can be loud and dusty.
- Businesses to remain open during construction.

Pay attention in the work zone, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work! Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers.
Remember that fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.
