According to the state officials, project design is underway, with construction scheduled for 2025.
This interim traffic configuration begins Monday, March 4. We will cover existing traffic signals, install two-way stops and monitor for 90 days.
ODOT officials are designing an intersection improvement project to create a more efficient and safer ride for drivers and reduce the cost of maintenance in downtown Pendleton.
Traffic signals at the intersections of SW Court Avenue and SW First Street, and SW Dorion Avenue and SW 10th Street are outside their existing lifespans.
The intersection traffic conditions have changed since the original installation of signals, and from a traffic volume and safety perspective, they are no longer needed.
As part of our design process, we will set up interim traffic control at both intersections and monitor to evaluate how this new pattern works and make sure it is safe for all users.
