The following is from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) relative to current work on Highway 99E in Aurora:
Construction Alert
We are working on curb ramps along OR 99E in Aurora
Work has started to upgrade or install new curb ramps through town. Work will be done weekdays, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Expect:
• Construction noise.
• Shoulder and lane closures.
• Work zone controlled by flaggers, as needed.
• Pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will have access through or around work zones.
The curb ramps will be built in batches, or stages, so you might see some periods of inactivity.
Our schedule may change – visit TripCheck.com for the most up to date information on road conditions and traffic.

Why are the curb ramps being done in batches?
Not all intersections or curb locations are the same, some are construction-ready and others may have fire hydrants, utility access points, sloping ground, signs, poles, additional land requirements or need to move property accesses. These are things we take into account when scheduling the construction of the ramps in each city.
The construction-ready locations are done first because they can be done immediately while those needing additional coordination or design will be part of a future batch or stage of construction. This is why at an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times.
