Design phase
Updated: May 23, 2024
Johnson Creek Blvd is a main road in the Milwaukie area with heavy volumes of vehicle traffic. The road will be repaved between 79th Pl and approximately 500 feet south of 45th Pl. Bell Avenue will also be repaved between Johnson Creek Blvd. and Alberta Ave. The median lane will be extended to Stanley Ave. to improve safety of left-turn movements onto Stanley Ave.
Sidewalk curb ramps and pedestrian push buttons will be checked for compliance with Americans with Disability (ADA) standards and retrofitted or replaced, as needed.
Projects funded through the new Community Road Fund will increase safety, relieve congestion and maintain local roads.

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.
As part of the project, we analyzed the intersection to determine whether to build a traffic signal or a roundabout. The evaluation determined a two-lane roundabout is less expensive and will be significantly safer.
Why
To provide a safer environment for all travelers and reduce delays for vehicles on Amisigger Road turning onto Hwy 224.
Schedule
Design: May 2022 to Fall 2025 Right of way: March 2025 to Fall 2025 Construction: Spring 2026 to Winter 2027
Traffic impact
Limited impacts this year with survey work and traffic data collection. Single lane closures may be needed during construction. Access to businesses and homes will be maintained during the construction.
Current activities
Design phase - 60%
We expect to receive final approval from ODOT by the end of February and to start the Right of Way phase in March. The design team anticipates bidding the project in spring 2026 with construction starting in early summer 2026 and lasting through 2027.

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.
Schedule
Design: July 2022 to Fall 2024 Right of way: Winter 2024 to Fall 2024 Construction: Spring 2026 to Fall 2026
Traffic impact
Expect lane closures and detours during construction.
Current activities
Design planning coordination.
Funding
Project estimate $1.6 million.
Funding is provided from Community Road Funds and System Development Charges.
The primary reason for crashes at this intersection is from failure to yield to oncoming traffic. To improve safety in this area, traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of SE 79th Place and SE Johnson Creek Blvd.
The project will also add sidewalks, and install ADA-compliant curb ramps at intersections and a raised median on Johnson Creek Blvd. from SE 79th Place to several hundred feet west to allow right-in and right-out only movements from both sides of the road.
Why
To provide a safer environment for all travelers by restricting turn options onto Johnson Creek Blvd and installing a signal for pedestrians to cross Johnson Creek Blvd.
Schedule
Design: March 2023 to Feb. 2025
Right of way: June 2023 to Feb. 2025
Construction: Spring 2025 to Fall 2025
Traffic impact
Single lane closures and detours may be needed during construction.
Current activities
Kittleson & Associates is working on design plans for this project. A traffic study will be conducted in the area.
Funding
Project estimate $2.5 million
Funding is provided from All Roads Transportation Safety (ARTS) Grant, Clackamas County Development Agency Funds, Condition of Approval Permit Funds, County Road Funds, and Community Road Funds

The intersection of Canby-Marquam Hwy and Lone Elder Road is a T-intersection that is stop-controlled on Lone Elder Road and uncontrolled along Canby-Marquam Hwy. The project reconstructed the intersection and added a northbound left-turn lane. Congestion in the northbound direction on Canby-Marquam Hwy occurs in large part from vehicles waiting to turn left onto Lone Elder Road.

Updated: Dec. 12, 2023
Why
To reduce wait times on Canby-Marquam Highway at Lone Elder Road and create a safer intersection for all travelers.
Schedule
Design: March 2020 - Dec. 2021
Right of way: Nov 2021 - Oct. 2022
Construction: Aug. 2023 - Oct. 2023
Funding
Project cost $1.05 million funded by the Community Road Fund and countywide transportation system development charges.
The Rhododendron Main Street redevelopment plan provided an opportunity for the county, residents and businesses to meet the needs of reducing demand on the transportation system while accommodating desired housing near along Hwy 26. The project area is almost 4 acres centered on two privately held properties on the southwest side of Hwy 26. Publicly owned lands next to the project include the Rhododendron Swinging Bridge and Rhododendron Community Landscape at the Barlow Trail Oregon Historic Marker.
Funding provided from a Transportation and Growth Management Grant - Quick Response Program from ODOT and Oregon Department of Land Conversation and Development.
Adding a roundabout at Childs Road, realigning Johnson Road to eliminate intersection skew and reduce steep slopes, adding a southbound left-turn lane at Johnson Road, widening Stafford Road between Pattulo Way and Rosemont Road to add bike lanes, and replacing the Pecan Creek culvert at Childs Road with a larger, fish-passable culvert.
Why
To improve safety and capacity at the intersections of Stafford Road with Johnson Road and Childs Road and to provide a safe route for bikes along Stafford Road.
Schedule
Design: March 2021 to Dec. 2024
Right of way: Sept. 2022 to Dec. 2024
Utility relocation: Fall 2024 to Spring 2025
Construction: Spring 2025 to Winter 2026
Current activities
Crews are preparing the new Johnson Road alignment for traffic. Activities include asphalt paving, temporary striping and signage, guardrail installation, and grading roadside shoulders and ditches. After July 15, the focus will shift to realigning the Childs Road intersection and starting to construct the new Pecan Creek culvert, retaining walls, and embankment for the new roundabout.
Traffic impacts
Starting Tuesday, July 15, the Childs Road/Stafford Road intersection will close to traffic, and the Johnson Road/Stafford Road intersection will open to traffic. Stafford Road will be closed between Johnson Road and Rosemont Road through Sept. 30.
The information below provides the general stages of construction. Watch for message boards along Stafford Road and check the project website for updates.

Pave two inches of asphalt, adjust and lengthen guardrail, and add white fog lines along two miles of Salmon River Road from Hwy 26 to Welches Road to provide a smoother ride and preserve access to Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness area.
One way that has been proven to decrease traffic crashes is to post safety signage alerting travelers to changing conditions ahead. The county has received a grant from ODOT to install over 2,500 curve and stop ahead warning signs throughout unincorporated Clackamas County to improve safety on our roads.
Status: Completed
Schedule: May 2021 – Aug. 2022
Updated: Sept. 11, 2022
Crash reductions associated with addition of curve warning signs (as compared to curves with no curve warning signs), and stop ahead warning signs are as follows:
Curve Warning Signs with Speed: 13% reduction in all fatal and injury causing crashes
Chevrons: 20–35% reduction in fatal and injury causing crashes
Intersection Warning Signs with Street Name: 22% reduction in overall crashes; 35% reduction in right-angle crashes
Stop Ahead Signs: 35% reduction in angle crashes
Double Stop Signs: 11% reduction in overall crashes; 55% reduction in angle crashes
The traffic safety team has assessed and determined proper speeds to post at each road segment where curve warning signs will be installed at along the following roads:
