Cornelius Pass Road (Wilkins to Aloclek)
Cornelius Pass Road between Wilkins Street and Aloclek Drive is the only remaining two-lane unimproved section of Cornelius Pass Road between Highway 26 and Tualatin Valley Highway. Due to continually increasing residential and commercial development in the area, traffic has concurrently increased resulting in the high priority need to widen this remaining segment to meet capacity needs. This will improve the traffic flow and enhance the safety of cyclists and pedestrians traveling on Cornelius Pass Road.
This project will widen Cornelius Pass Road between Wilkins and Aloclek to four travel lanes with a center turn lane, connecting the existing north and south completed sections of road.
Improvements include:
- Vertical and horizontal realignment
- Flattening the curve south of the MAX light rail overpass
- Installation of bike lanes and sidewalks to connect the existing sections
- Replacement of the existing bridge over Rock Creek
- Upgrades to the storm drainage system and water quality treatment system
- Retaining wall installation to minimize the impacts to the significant natural resource areas
- Installation of a traffic signal at Cherry Drive and Cornelius Pass Road
This project will include salvaging the existing 85-foot long concrete girder bridge beams to be used for the Johnson School Road county bridge project. Recycling the beams from the Cornelius Pass bridge will benefit the environment and may result in an overall cost-savings.
