Celebration marks the completion of Tualatin-Sherwood Road, Roy Rogers Road projects

The community is invited to attend a celebration recognizing the completion of three street improvement projects at 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 20 at Pioneer City Park in Sherwood. The event includes a short ceremony and ribbon cutting to mark the occasion.

Washington County, in partnership with the cities of Sherwood and Tualatin, and the Willamette Water Supply Program (WWSP), improved five miles of Roy Rogers Road and Tualatin-Sherwood Road. These projects were identified in the County and cities’ transportation system plans to improve existing routes though Washington County. The projects are:

Tualatin-Sherwood Road and Highway 99W Intersection

Construction: September 2021-September 2024

Improved the intersection of Roy Rogers Road, Tualatin-Sherwood Road and Highway 99W with additional eastbound, westbound and turn lanes, bike lanes, street lighting and upgraded traffic signals. The project included the WWSP’s 66-inch drinking water pipeline along the length of the project.

Roy Rogers Road (Chicken Creek to Borchers Drive)

Construction: July 2022-October 2024

Improved Roy Rogers Road with five travel lanes, multi-use (bike and pedestrian) paths, street lighting and sound walls between the 99W intersection project and the urban growth boundary. The project included the WWSP’s 66-inch drinking water pipeline along the length of the project.

Tualatin-Sherwood Road (Langer Farms Parkway to Teton Avenue)

Construction: July 2022-October 2025

Improved Tualatin-Sherwood Road with five travel lanes, multi-use (bike and pedestrian) paths and street lighting between the 99W intersection project and Teton Avenue in Tualatin. The project included the WWSP’s 66-inch drinking water pipeline from 124th Avenue to the 99W project.

These projects were paid for through the Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP) in partnership with the cities, Transportation Development Tax and the WWSP.

Coordinating the WWSP work with existing road projects used taxpayer money more efficiently and reduced the number of projects impacting traffic on these heavily traveled roads.

The celebration marks the end of four years of continuous road construction along the corridor, ending with improved streets that better meet the needs of the growing cities of Sherwood and Tualatin, as well as providing better safety and infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians.
