Englewood Park
A portion of Fanno Creek Trail is going to be relocated to higher ground in Englewood Park, north of Ironwood Loop. City crews will construct a new asphalt segment of trail in approximately the same location as the dirt path trail users have worn into the grassy area. Once the new trail segment is constructed, the existing trail segment will be removed and disturbed soil will be seeded. Work will begin the week of August 10th and continue for approximately three weeks. As time and conditions allow, City crews may also repair trail sections that have been damaged by tree roots farther to the south. In the winter of 2020/2021 when planting conditions are more favorable, Clean Water Services will enhance the creek’s planted areas to restore the wetland where the current trail is located. Intermittent trail closures should be expected while trucks and equipment enter and exit the work area.

East Fork Derry Dell Creek Stabilization Project
Creek erosion has exposed a 10-inch sanitary line in the bottom of East Fork Derry Dell Creek. The project will rebuild the degraded streambed with small log and rock waterfalls, pools, and other features. These natural features, designed to calm and absorb stream energy, will stop the extreme erosion, cover and protect the sanitary line. Expect trucks to be entering and exiting out of the Grace Community Church lower parking lot on Gaarde Street just downhill of 110th Avenue. The project began in late July and is expected to last 6 to 8 weeks.

Tualatin River Bridge
ODOT is improving the bridge over the Tualatin River on OR 99W northbound including replacing the bridge joints and installing new concrete surfaces. Drivers should expect:
- Periodic day and nighttime lane closures on OR 99W northbound.
- 30-day single lane closure on OR 99W northbound across the Tualatin River Bridge, leaving one lane open at a time. Travelers should expect significant traffic congestion and delays.
- Bicyclists will travel in the lane of traffic through the work zone.
- Detour signs will direct freight trucks to Tualatin-Sherwood Road and Roy Rogers Road to Scholls Ferry Road.
