 The I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project secures sufficient funding to begin construction.
The once-in-a-generation project heads to construction this summer after a year of major milestones. In 2024, it received environmental approval, a $450 million Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods federal grant and an allocation of $250 million from the Oregon Transportation Commission. There is now sufficient funding to begin construction and deliver many of the project’s most critical improvements. Read more here.

 New sidewalk and bicycle lanes on the Hall Boulevard overpass in Beaverton.
We are heading into our final year of the OR 217 Auxiliary Lanes Project, with construction expected to wrap up on time at the end of 2025. We are pleased to share that the new sidewalk and bicycle lanes are now open on the Hall Boulevard overpass in Beaverton. In partnership with the City of Beaverton, we widened the overpass by 19 feet adding a sidewalk on the north side and bicycle lanes on both sides. These improvements provide a much-needed connection for people bicycling, walking and rolling on Hall Boulevard between Scholls Ferry Road and Cascade Avenue.
