Projects funded through the new Community Road Fund will increase safety, relieve congestion and maintain local roads.
Project description
Design phase.
Updated: March 14, 2023
The intersection of SE Amisigger Road and Hwy 224 (Clackamas Hwy) is an intersection with high volumes of traffic located east of Barton in a rural area, with a stop sign on SE Amisigger Road. Travelers attempting to turn east or west from SE Amisigger Road onto Hwy 224 during peak traffic periods can experience long wait times.
The project will determine if the intersection meets criteria to build a traffic signal. If criteria is met, both a traffic signal and a roundabout will be evaluated to determine which solution would provide the best value. A traffic signal design would likely add southbound and eastbound left-turn lanes and a westbound right-turn lane.
Why
To provide a safer environment for all travelers and reduce delays for vehicles on Amisigger Road turning onto Hwy 224.
