Hall Boulevard Overpass Replacement

Rebuilding Hall Boulevard Overpass (Tigard)

Hall Boulevard overpass in Tigard closed until early 2025

Crews have been working hard to improve safety and reduce bottlenecks on OR 217 by adding auxiliary lanes, or ramp to ramp connections, between Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and OR 99W.

To make room for these new auxiliary lanes and safety shoulders on the south end of the project, the Hall Boulevard overpass in Tigard near OR 99W and Pfaffle Street will be replaced with one that is longer and includes wider sidewalks and bicycle lanes.

While we originally planned to reopen the overpass before the 2024 holiday season, the completion date has moved to early 2025. This change is due to several reasons including a car crash that damaged a steel piling, along with other construction material and scheduling delays.

Since March 2024 when the bridge was demolished, crews completed new retaining walls and complex foundation work involving extensive underground tasks to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the future overpass. Once the foundation work passed all our tests, we moved on to setting the horizontal steel support beams. In September, crews placed and secured all 14 beam segments over the course of eight nights, finishing two nights ahead of schedule.

Moving forward, the work will be more visible as we focus on the bridge deck, or surface. This work will involve setting plywood forms, installing rebar, pouring concrete, constructing sidewalks and railings, and completing signals and utility work. Once bike and pedestrian access is restored on the new overpass, the temporary bridge will be dismantled. We will continue to provide updates and more details on the reopening date as work on the overpass is completed.
