The Hall Boulevard Overpass is now fully open

The Hall Boulevard overpass over OR 217 in Tigard is now fully open to all travelers, including all vehicle travel lanes and both sidewalks. We know that rebuilding this overpass was a significant inconvenience for nearby residents, local businesses, and commuters and we appreciate your patience and flexibility during this extended closure.

The new overpass includes wider sidewalks and bicycle lanes, ADA-compliant access and increased earthquake resiliency. We demolished the old overpass and built a new one with wider footings in order to accommodate the new auxiliary lanes on OR 217. Access for people bicycling, walking and rolling continued during the closure by using a temporary pedestrian bridge. Reopening the overpass restores a critical connection over OR 217 for drivers.

Expect intermittent, short-term lane closures on Hall Boulevard for remaining utility, paving and bridge work over the next couple of months, but the road will remain open.

The overall OR 217 Auxiliary Lanes project remains on track to finish by the end of 2025.

Final paving is progressing well on OR 217 north between OR 99W and Scholls Ferry Road. Crews are on track to reopen this stretch of the highway by Monday at 5 a.m. We will send another notification when the highway is reopen.

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.

While the funding crisis is having a profound impact on ODOT’s maintenance and operations, most construction projects will continue as planned. These projects are typically funded through separate capital programs, often with state or federal funds that are legally restricted to project development and cannot be used for maintenance or day-to-day operations. Delays may still occur if our workforce is reduced. Fewer staff available for inspections, project coordination and oversight would mean some timelines may shift or face additional challenges during delivery.
