OR 47 ADA Curb Ramps
Our crews have been working on ADA curb ramps to improve accessibility for everyone, whether you drive, ride, walk or roll.

Halloween is around the corner but remember – so are work zones. Please use caution, follow signs and avoid closed curb ramps to keep everyone safe! |

 What's up with all the ADA curb ramp work?
You may have noticed an increase in ADA curb ramp construction throughout the Willamette Valley, North Coast and even Oregon as a whole.
We're committed to making our highways more accessible for everyone, whether you drive, ride, walk or roll. As part of this effort, we've been working in several communities to bring curb ramps to ADA standards.
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.

Pay attention in work zones, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work. Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers.
Remember: fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.
