Project-Details

Traffic Impact

​There will be temporary impacts to Cascade Avenue, Oak Street and nearby streets during construction. Expect periodic lane closures with flaggers directing traffic and for shoulders, parking spaces and sections of sidewalk to be closed temporarily during construction. There may be some short-term closures of side streets. We will provide accessible paths around the work zones for people walking, biking and rolling. We will maintain access for customers of nearby businesses during business hours. Check TripCheck.com for real-time traffic conditions.

Construction Impacts

Sidewalk curb ramp removal and replacement will continue Monday through Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 25-27. Crews will be preparing for curb ramp construction periodically at multiple locations throughout the project area with short-term impacts.  

Expect curb ramp construction at the following locations:

• SW and NW corners of 6^th Avenue.
• SE corner of 5^th Avenue.
• NE corner of 4^th Avenue.

​Expect to see include temporary lane closures, adjacent street closures, shoulder closures, and sidewalk closures with pedestrian detours. Traffic impacts are as follows:

• Single lane closures on the Historic Columbia Highway (U.S. Route 30) Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Single lane closures on adjacent streets Monday through Thursday, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Around-the-clock pedestrian detours.​
  

We will post upcoming work locations in advance. Construction is weather-dependent and may change.

​Construction is scheduled for late 2024 through summer 2025. No construction will occur in the downtown area between 1st Street and 6th Street during the busy summer season (Memorial Day to Labor Day). Each corner may take up to three weeks to complete. We will work on several corners at the same time. We will maintain access to all businesses during business hours.

Most work is expected to take place during the day. Some nighttime work may take place to minimize traffic impacts. For any-noise related concerns associated with nighttime work, contact the 24/7 noise hotline at (503) 294-1301.

Schedule

• ​Construction timeline: November 2024 through summer 2025
  
• No work between Memorial Day and Labor Day in downtown Hood River (between 1st Street and 6th Street).​
