FY 2016-17 paving program expands
Almost 40 miles of road will be paved in Washington County Fiscal 2016-17 at a cost of about $10.5 million, which is significantly higher than average.
The original $3.5 million paving contract would have funded about 12 miles of paving. Pavement conditions on Washington County roads called for more work than usual this year, said Todd Watkins, acting division manager, Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT) Operations and Maintenance Division. The amount allocated for contracted work increased by $7 million, or 28 miles, as a result.
"Our typical paving program is around $3.5 million," Watkins said. "But some years we spend significantly more when road conditions warrant it. We budget accordingly so we have funds available for years like this."
Roads to be paved are:
  • Evergreen Parkway, from 185th Avenue to Cornelius Pass Road
  • Gales Creek Road, from Thatcher Road to Hwy 6
  • Scholls Ferry Road, from Old Scholls Ferry Road to Hall Boulevard
  • Fischer Road, from Hwy 99 to 131st Avenue
  • Germantown Road, from Multnomah County Line to Cornelius Pass Road
  • Dixon Mill Road, from Iowa Hill Road to the end of the pavement
  • 158th Avenue, from Schendel Avenue to Cornell Road
  • Cornell Road, from Elam Young Parkway to Main Street
  • Roy Rogers Road, from the Chicken Creek Bridge to Beef Bend Road
  • Scholls Ferry Road, from Tile Flat Road to Hwy 219
  • Old Hwy 47, from Scoggins Valley Road to Hwy 47
Work is expected to begin in April. Anticipated dates will be posted in the work areas in advance. Impacted property owners will be notified by postcard regarding vegetation trimming/removal requirements. Schedules may change due to weather, contractors' schedules and availability of materials.
During the paving, roads will remain open, with lane closures and lower speeds enforced. However, additional work before paving may include grinding and repair of the road. Pavement markings will be applied within a few weeks after paving is complete.
Roads already paved are:
  • Walker Road, from 185th Avenue to Von Neumann Drive
  • Barnes Road, from Leahy Road to Baltic Avenue
  • Evergreen Road, west of 273rd Avenue to Glencoe Road
