TIGARD – Due to rain in the Friday night forecast, Northbound OR 217 will close for paving from OR 99W to Scholls Ferry Road at 5:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 16, and reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 18.

This is the fifth and final weekend directional closure in the Auxiliary Lanes Project. It will be in the same northbound section of the project that closed last weekend for paving.

Paving and striping are dependent on weather and equipment availability, which means details can change again. Please check Tripcheck.com for current travel and closure information on Oregon highways. You can also sign up for email updates on the project website.

During this weekend’s closure, all northbound drivers will exit OR 217 at OR 99W, and these northbound ramps will be closed:

  • OR 99W on-ramps
  • Greenburg Road off-ramp
  • Greenburg Road on-ramp
  • Scholls Ferry Road off-ramp

Detour

The recommended detour is to use Interstate 5 through Portland, Interstate 405 and U.S. 26. 

ODOT funding crisis

While ODOT’s funding crisis is having a profound impact on maintenance and operations, most projects will continue. These projects are typically funded through separate 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.
