Tips for Traveling Safely in Work Zones

- Obey all speed signs for your safety and the safety of others.
- Expect delays—plan for them—and leave early so you can drive safely through the work zone.
- Allow extra time when traveling and follow all signs and flaggers for safety.Travelers should expect delays in the area during construction activities. For the most up-to-date traffic impacts please visit www.TripCheck.com.
In addition to 1.65 miles of paving, safety improvements along the project corridor include:
- New enhanced pedestrian crossings, or Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), at four intersections of SE 82nd Avenue at SE Cooper Street, SE Clatsop Street, SE Glencoe Road and parallel to SE Thompson Road (just south of SE Monroe Street/Boyer Drive).
- New sidewalks roughly between SE Clatsop Street and SE Cornwell Street on both the east and west sides of the highway.
- Accessible curb ramps (158 total) at intersections in the project area to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
Construction will continue through summer 2025.
