2023 is the final year of planned construction for Tualatin Moving Forward. Since 2018, the City’s voter-approved bond program has completed 24 projects. Another 12 are set to wrap up in 2023 in the program’s busiest year.
The final work includes constructing several of the high-profile “signature” projects:
Some of the smaller projects are expected to be built as early as spring—including pedestrian safety features along Tualatin Rd and Jurgens Ave, and safety improvements along Martinazzi Ave near Mohawk St and near Fred Meyer. Others may not be completed until late in the year.Construction manager Jay Hedberg with Consor Engineering points to the challenge of balancing so many projects in one year: “Every project is different.” Each project has a separate contract and requires juggling a different contractor schedule to assure project quality and timely completion within budget.
The same internal process is used to manage all projects. This standardized approach has been instrumental in keeping the $24 million bond program moving forward. “Streamlining the project documentation allows the construction management team to keep multiple projects on-schedule, under budget, and built to the highest quality of the specifications”, says Hedberg.
With so much construction underway this year, some impacts on traffic flow can be expected. Things to watch for include periodic lane closures and flaggers along Boones Ferry Road, Tualatin Road, 65th Ave, and other streets.
