Whether you drive, ride, walk or roll, we are committed to providing the best accessibility possible to all people using the transportation system.

One of the ways we are doing this is by bringing curb ramps in Springfield and Cottage Grove to current ADA accessibility standards.

Construction resumes late March

When work starts back up, you can expect:

Crews working during the day, Monday through Friday.
Occasional work at night as needed.
Lane shifts, shoulder and lane closures as needed.
Flaggers directing traffic as needed.
Businesses near the corners we're working on to remain open during construction.
Delays and construction noise – saw cutting can be loud!

Please remember to slow down and watch for workers.

Curious why ADA curb ramps are 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 and other mobility aids.

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.
