Traffic Impact
Watch for lane closures on Dorion Avenue.
SW First Street will see a full closure on the south side of Dorion. The north side will remain open.
Traffic signals at this intersection have been turned off.
Pedestrian traffic will be rerouted east to 2nd Street and west to Main Street in order to cross Dorion.
Construction Impacts
Expect lane and sidewalk closures during construction activities at the SW Dorion Avenue/SW First Street intersection work sites. Pedestrian detours to accommodate all users will be set up and marked during sidewalk closures. Motorists may want to use alternate routes during drilling/construction activities that require lane restrictions.
Meetings and Events
We will work with the city of Pendleton and business partners to prepare for this project. We will also work with businesses that will be impacted by the project.
We held an online open house January 11 through January 27, 2023. The information presented in the open house remains available for viewing at the following link.
During the online open house, we received questions about the ADA curb ramp and sidewalk treatments. See the FAQ at the bottom of the page.
