Posted: August 10th, 2010 2:59 PM
The City of Beaverton will grind and repave all lanes of SW Griffith Drive from SW 5th Street to the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway loop (project includes the entire loop but not the connection from Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway to the loop) from Thursday, August 19 through Saturday, August 21. Work is expected to take place between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. The dates are weather dependent and may change if the weather is not conducive to paving.
Motorists are urged to be cautious when driving onto the street surface. Access to residences and local businesses will be maintained throughout the duration of this work.
Thursday, August 19: Grinding
Please use caution when driving onto the street surface from intersecting streets and driveways and be aware of street signage. Driveway impacts should be minimal.
Friday, August 20: Clean-up Preparation for Paving
Localized work will be conducted, but no driveway entrances will be impacted.
Saturday, August 21: Pavement Overlay
The closure time at both driveways and intersecting streets will vary depending on the location of the paving operation. During the paving, driveways will be closed for an extended period of time, but no more than 20 minutes.
When leaving or entering a driveway, only right turns will be permitted. Vehicles will not be allowed to make left turns across a paving lane or a work zone lane. Only emergency vehicles will be allowed access at any time or place.
The intent of the City is to complete the project as quickly as possible while providing the highest possible quality of work as well as safety for both motorists and workers. Working both quickly and safely will cause occasional delays for both local and through traffic.
