County Roads Take Me Home stickerProjects funded through the new Community Road Fund will increase safety, relieve congestion and maintain local roads.

Project description

Status

Design 

Updated: March 5, 2024

The Duus Road and Eagle Creek Road intersection turn lanes lack adequate sight distance in the Estacada area. This project will construct a southbound left-turn lane on Eagle Creek Road and potentially a westbound left-turn lane on Duus Road. 

Why

To improve safety and sight distance, relieve congestion and to accommodate future growth in the Estacada area.

Design: July 2022 to Fall 2024 
Right of way: Winter 2024 to Fall 2024 
Construction: Spring 2025 to Fall 2025

Current activities

Design planning coordination.

Funding

  • Project estimate $1.6 million.

We anticipate that attaining right of way will likely be needed to build the left-hand turn lane. This will be determined as the projects moves through design development. Factors impacting right of way include lane configuration, shoulders slopes, sight distance requirements, water management and budget. For any project, the county intends to require as little right of way as possible.
