Construction is anticipated to take up to nine months. Due to observed traffic volumes on the subject roadways and the required temporary widening/change in roadway alignment to accommodate two lanes of vehicle traffic during construction, Road Department staff have determined that a temporary speed limit of 25 mph is prudent to maintain safety for the travelling public during construction. Pursuant to ORS 810.180(8), a road authority may establish by ordinance or order a temporary designated speed for a highway that is lower than the statutory speed. The Road Department is requesting that a temporary designated speed of 25 mph be implemented on South Century Drive and Huntington Road within the project work zone. The current posted speeds on S Century Drive and Huntington Rd within the vicinity of the intersection are 50 mph and 40 mph, respectively. Adoption of Order No. 2025-052 will implement a temporary designated speed of 25 mph on S Century Drive and Huntington Rd within the vicinity of the intersection. The temporary speed limit will be in effect for the duration of the intersection improvement project, which is presently anticipated to be substantially completed by June 30, 2026.
