About
This project will upgrade curb ramps in Burns and Hines to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
As part of this project, we will:
- Remove existing ramps.
- Build new ramps.
- Install a rapid flashing beacon at U.S. 20/U.S. 395 and Barnes Avenue in Hines.
- Upgrade lighting along the project area.
- Some intersections in downtown Burns will include curb extensions.
This project does not include any lane reconfigurations. With the exception of possible lane closures for construction activities, all lanes through Burns and Hines will remain two-lanes in each direction.

Additional Information
During construction, you may notice that we move around your community in what seems to be an unorganized progression.
Not all intersections or curb locations are the same. Some are ready for construction. Others may have fire hydrants, utility boxes, utility poles, additional land requirements or we need an environmental permit. These are things we consider when scheduling the construction of the ramps in each city.
The locations ready for construction are done first because they can be done immediately, while those needing additional coordination or design will be done later. This is why curb ramps at an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times. The time it takes to construct each corner may also differ.
