The Oregon Department of Transportation, in partnership with the City of Tigard, is starting construction this summer on a project to enhance safety on Hall Boulevard (OR 141) at Fanno Creek Trail and SW Omara Street.
About the project
SW Hall Boulevard is a busy, 35 mile-per-hour corridor and people walk over a quarter mile to the nearest signalized intersection. This project will install a new enhanced pedestrian crossing, also known as a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (what's this?), across SW Hall Boulevard at SW Omara Street and will upgrade the existing signalized crosswalk on SW Hall Boulevard at Fanno Creek Trail with audible pedestrian signals, improving pedestrian safety, visibility and accessibility.
New sidewalk and ADA curb ramps around the intersections will make the crossings safer and more accessible for everyone. Adding a new RRFB and closing the existing unsignalized crosswalk on the south side of Hall Boulevard at SW Omara Street increases safety by protecting people who walk, bike or roll from vehicles turning onto Hall Boulevard.
What to expect during construction
Expect temporary traffic delays in the area during construction.
Daytime and nighttime single lane closures and temporary side street closures.
Occasional multiple lane closures under flagger control at night.
Work requires temporary sidewalk and crosswalk closures, with signed, temporary pedestrian accessible detours around the work zone.
Bicyclists will share the road with vehicles and use city streets during construction.
Information about current traffic impacts during construction will be posted to the project website.
Night Work
To minimize traffic impacts during the day, some night work may be required. During construction, people who live or work near the project area may hear periodic construction noise from heavy equipment, construction trucks, beeping noise when vehicles are in reverse (required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and equipment such as concrete saws, drills and jackhammers, air compressors and generators.
For concerns about nighttime noise during construction, contact the noise hotline at 503-412-2349.
Schedule
Construction begins in summer 2026 and continues through early 2027.
The project schedule is subject to change.
