Region 2: Willamette Valley and Northwest Oregon (Various Cities, Various)


​​​​​We're ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​installing updated curve warning signs at various locations throughout Northwest Oregon to improve driver awareness and safety.


Banner: Slow down, in the work zone it could save lives. Building a modern transportation system to help Oregon’s communities and economy thrive. During construction, Give yourself more time, try a new way or mode to get there or take a different route.

We're working on several highways, visit Tripcheck.com​ for the most up to date information on which locations are under construction.

Construction Activities

We'll install or upgrade the signs in stages. We'll first clean the area, next we'll install the bases for the signs and then we'll return to finish installing the sign. ​

About

Enlarged project mapThis project will upgrade curve warning signs to meet national standards and install new curve warnings at the curves that meet a specific crash threshold. 

Installing signs will help reduce fatal and serious roadway departure crashes at horizontal curves. Curve warning signage has been shown to aid in  driver's awareness in the changes to the direction of the road and to decreases roadway departure crashes. Roadway departure fatalities account for about two thirds of Oregon fatalities. 

The following corridors are included in the project: 

  • OR 18 from milepost 1 to 17.

  • OR 219 from milepost 10 to 36.

  • OR 99W from milepost 34 to 104.
