West PDX Today

Washington County issued the following announcement on Apr. 15. 

Comment on two possible alignments being considered for an improved Saltzman Road through an online open house until May 8.

The two alignment alternatives for Saltzman Road between Bayonne Lane and Laidlaw Road are:

• Western Alignment: Build a bridge to align Saltzman Road with Laidlaw Road and 130th Avenue.

   

• Eastern Alignment: Widen the existing Saltzman Road.

Saltzman Road currently has narrow vehicle lanes with no bike lanes or sidewalks. Both alignment options address these safety concerns.

The Saltzman Road Project has been funded for $6.5 million - $5.3 million through the Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP 3e), plus an additional $1.2 million through the Bonny Slope West funding plan. The estimated cost for the Western Alignment is $19.5 million. Estimated cost for the Eastern Alignment is $8.4 million.
