All lanes reopen on OR 217 south between Canyon Road and OR 99W

We completed the third weekend directional closure and all lanes of OR 217 south are now open, one day ahead of schedule. Over the weekend, crews finished paving all the lanes, ramp and shoulders of OR 217 south in the project area between Allen Boulevard and OR 99W. The majority of the southbound project area also has permanent striping. The areas that currently have temporary striping will be permanently striped later this summer.

This marks a major project milestone - the final scheduled weekend closure of OR 217 south is now behind us. The newly completed auxiliary lane is open but may close intermittently for crews to complete remaining work on the shoulders and side slopes. 

The last two weekend directional closures will take place on a section of OR 217 north later this summer. We will send advanced notice about this work as it is scheduled. Stay tuned for details on the project website and via email.

Extensive paving took place on OR 217.

Crews completed all paving on OR 217 south from Allen Boulevard to OR 99W.

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.
