Cornelius Pass Road project named APWA Project of the Year
|

| Members of the Cornelius Pass Road Team: Jed Corley, Zach Morris and Abe Turki. |
Washington County's
Cornelius Pass Road project has been named Transportation Project of the Year by the Oregon Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA).
The Cornelius Pass Road project was the award recipient in the "Projects of $5 million, but less than $25 million" division. According to the
APWA website, the award recognizes excellence, innovation and cooperation with regard to administration of public works projects through the alliance of the managing agency, consultant and contractor.
"This was a challenging project with many moving parts," said Andrew Singelakis, Director, Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation. "LUT staff did a great job improving safety and traffic flow on this heavily traveled arterial."
The $18.3 million
Cornelius Pass Road project was funded through private development, the County's
Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP)
Phase 3d, the Oregon Immediate Opportunity Fund and the city of Hillsboro Transportation Development Tax and Traffic Impact Fee programs.
The project widened Cornelius Pass Road to three lanes in each direction between Cornell Road and U.S. 26. There is a center median and dedicated turn lanes at several intersections, including U.S. 26. Other improvements include sidewalks on both sides of the road, a buffered bike lane on the west side, a separated two-way bike path on the east side and new street lighting. The project was completed in December.

NE 69th Avenue bridge project open house Oct. 18
 An open house for the NE 69th Avenue (formerly 227th Avenue) bridge replacement project will be 5-7 p.m. Oct. 18 at Orenco Elementary School,
7050 NW Birch St.
The open house, sponsored by Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT), provides the public with the opportunity to learn about design options under consideration for replacement of the bridge on NE 69th Avenue between Quatama and Fir streets. Representatives from LUT and the city of Hillsboro will be available to answer questions. No formal presentation is planned; stop in any time during open house hours.
The 69th Avenue bridge was
weight limited in September 2016, with traffic reduced to one lane. The $3.5 million project is funded through the Washington County Road Fund and the city of Hillsboro.
