Did you know we have an interactive map that shows where different projects are located statewide?

It's true! When you click on an orange dot or line, you can learn more about traffic impacts without leaving the page. There are links to help you quickly sign up for email updates and if you do want more details, there are links to project information webpages.

We know that construction isn't convenient for anyone, whether you drive, ride, walk, roll or shop in a local area. 

To help you see where to go, we use blue signs and markers to show business entrances or accesses to parking lots. As a reminder, businesses are open during construction – and your support during this dusty time is appreciated!

When in doubt – look for blue to help guide you to a nearby business!

Using the zipper merge may take a change in your mindset. Many drivers were taught to merge early and believe they are being “cut off" by vehicles merging from the lane that is ending. But sharing the road with a zipper merge means being patient and taking turns.

As you see the “lane closed ahead" sign, stay in your current lane up to the point of merge. Then take turns with other drivers to ease into the remaining lane. It is safer for motorists to use both lanes until reaching the defined merge area and then take turns continuing in the open lane, like the teeth of a zipper.

Safer driving habits benefit travelers and workers alike by preventing crashes and keeping traffic moving smoothly. ​

For most of our ADA curb ramp projects, we're grouping and rebuilding curb ramps in batches at various locations.

Why? Not all intersections or curb locations are the same. Some are construction-ready and others may have fire hydrants, utility boxes, utility poles, additional land requirements or require an environmental permit. These are things we consider when scheduling the curb ramp construction in each city.

The construction-ready locations are done first because they can be done immediately while those needing additional coordination or design will be part of a future batch or stage of construction. This is why an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times. 

We use GovDelivery to send important updates and impacts to our communities – but these updates only make sense if you're signed up for the right topics!

Pay attention in the work zone, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work! Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers. 

Remember that fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.
