US 26/Cedar Hills signal goes 'live' this weekend
|
|
The long-awaited traffic signal at the U.S. 26 eastbound exit ramp and Cedar Hills Boulevard is expected to be activated this weekend.
"We are anticipating that the traffic signal will be live early Saturday morning (May 4)," said Renus Kelfkens, Project Manager for Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT). "We're very excited to deliver this project. Travelers will be able to make left turns onto Cedar Hills from the U.S. 26 eastbound off-ramp without long delays."
In celebration of the new signal, join LUT, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), city of Beaverton and private developer
J. Peterkort and Company for
free coffee from 7-9 a.m. Thursday, May 9, in the
Peterkort Towne Square
at Cedar Hills Boulevard and Barnes Road.
In preparation for the upcoming event, LUT created a Spotify playlist -
Turning Left
- to get everyone into the left-turn spirit. Follow

on Spotify. Travelers with suggestions for additional songs for

Road closure: Tualatin-Sherwood Road intersection
|
|
SW Tualatin-Sherwood Road will be closed to all traffic west of SW Boones Ferry Road from
8 p.m. Friday, May 17, through 5 a.m. Monday, May 20,
for Portland & Western Railroad (PNWR) replacement of the railroad crossing.
Travelers are advised to plan ahead. Expect delays and/or use alternate routes.
While the most significant traffic impact will be east of Avery Street, all traffic along Tualatin-Sherwood Road will be affected. Local traffic will be allowed to access Tualatin-Sherwood Road at Teton, 97th, 95th and 90th avenues.
See map.
PNWR will have flaggers onsite for the duration of the closure. LUT will be adjusting traffic signal timing in the immediate vicinity to limit congestion as much as possible.
“We’re asking people to plan ahead,” said Stacy Shetler, LUT Traffic Engineering Manager. “PNWR is doing everything possible to minimize traffic impacts. However, delays and detours are unavoidable. Consider alternate routes and/or anticipate longer travel time.
