Project Update

Paving between SE 40th Street and SE 123rd Street

We're going to start paving soon!

Paving work starts after July 4

You may have seen crews working on curb ramps on a section of U.S. 101 between SE 40th Street and SE 123rd Street. Now we're getting ready to pave!

When paving starts, you can expect:

Crews working nightly, Sunday night through Friday morning from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Single lane closures as needed with flaggers helping direct traffic.
Construction noise and debris.
Work vehicles entering and leaving the work zone.

Our schedule may change. Please use caution and watch for workers when driving through the area.

About the project

The pavement in this section of U.S. 101 is in poor condition and needs to be replaced.

For this project, we are:

Repaving the road. This will help reduce maintenance costs and give you a smoother ride.
Installing new striping and rumble strips. Striping helps clearly define each travel lane. Rumble strips provide noise and vibration to alert drivers when they're leaving their lane
Building ADA curb ramps at SE 40th Street. ADA curb ramps make it easier for everyone to move between the curb and road, whether you have a disability or not.

Remember that fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.
