Daytime lane closures tomorrow to install reflective pavement markers

Crews are working to increase visibility and safety on the highway and will be closing one lane at a time on OR 217 tomorrow during daytime hours to finish installing reflective pavement markers on the highway before rainy weather returns. 

Here's what you need to know:

• When: Friday, Dec. 20 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
• Where: Both directions of OR 217 between Denney Road and OR 99W.
• What to Expect: Single lane closures on OR 217 to finish installing reflective pavement markers on the highway. 

This work is weather and temperature dependent and may change at any time.

Please plan for more traffic than usual during these times and consider alternative routes. 

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.

OR 217 between Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and OR 99W. We are also improving local bicycle and pedestrian routes in partnership with the City of Beaverton and Washington County.
