Roundabout opens on Highway 47, Martin Road

The new Highway 47 roundabout at Martin Road has opened, but Martin Road remains closed through the weekend.

The southbound lane of Martin Road opens Monday (Feb. 12). The northbound lane of Martin Road, between Council Creek and Verboort Road, and Porter Road will remain closed through April 30.

The shoulders of Martin Road are being widened in the next phase of construction. Because Martin Road is narrow, only one lane of traffic will be open. The contractor will also remove the bypass during the next phase of construction and will complete planting.

The project includes a single-span concrete bridge that replaces three failing culverts. The bridge is above the 100-year flood plain level to improve water flow and fish passage.

The Martin Road at Highway 47 Project is funded by the Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP) and the city of Forest Grove in partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation.
