U.S. 101: Pacific Way Signal Upgrades

Constructing in 2027

U.S. 101 and Pacific Way is one of the main intersections in Gearhart and the traffic signal is outdated and needs to be replaced. As part of this project, we will:

Upgrade traffic signals.
This will help improve traffic flow through the intersection.
Install ADA curb ramps.
These ramps improve accessibility for everyone, whether you have a disability or not.
Improve water drainage.
This will help prevent water from pooling onto the road.

When we start work in 2027, you can expect sidewalk, shoulder and lane closures in addition to construction noise and delays.

Why are ADA curb ramps important?

ADA curb ramps make it easier for people to move between the sidewalk and road. This can be helpful for those who have trouble stepping up and down high curbs. It's also helpful for people using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, hand carts and bicycles.

By making curb ramps gently slope to the road, it improves accessibility and makes it easier for everyone to get around, whether they have a disability or not.
