ODOT, the City of Hillsboro and Washington County have recently started design on a project to address congestion on U.S. Highway 26 (Sunset Highway) between Cornelius Pass Road and 185th Avenue. The project will include widening U.S. 26 to three lanes in each direction, replacing the two Rock Creek bridges with one bridge, improving the north side of the U.S. 26/Cornelius Pass Road interchange, and possibly adding a sound wall to the north side of U.S. 26. Construction is slated for 2017 and 2018. For more information and to share your feedback, please join ODOT at an open house on Thursday, May 7, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Liberty High School.
