Washington County Cornelius Pass-Old Corneilus Pass, Germantown Improvements, OR
Improves intersection safety and reduces traffic delays.
Quick Facts
Washington County identified the need for intersection improvements at Cornelius Pass Road/Old Cornelius Pass Road and the intersections adjacent to it, due to the existing traffic delay, long queues along the side streets, and safety concerns
DKS installed a traffic signal at Cornelius Pass Road/Old Cornelius Pass Road with the addition of a dedicated left-turn lane for northbound traffic
Project also included making the Germanton/Cornelius Pass intersection a right-in and left-in only movement in order to divert everyone to the signal where it is the safer location to make left turn movements
Results
Minimizes traffic delays and queues by allowing more opportunities for the traffic on the side streets to turn on to the main line
Improves safety for vehicles as they are protected by the signal to safely make a left turn or through movements
Improves safety for pedestrians as they now have ADA ramps and pushbutton to safely cross the street
Improved lighting at the intersection brings more awareness to the intersection and improves safety
Our Work
Performed traffic analysis using Synchro to analyze existing and future operational conditions with and without the proposed improvements
Developed and designed traffic signal, lighting, signing, and striping plans
Provided construction services support during the construction of the project
