Aloha access improvements: SW 174TH AVE - SW 187TH AVE

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,072,105.20 to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) on July 28, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to design and implement pedestrian access and crossing enhancements in the Aloha Town Center area. The project focuses on safety improvements along SW 174th Avenue through SW 187th Avenue, addressing the need for enhanced pedestrian infrastructure in this urban corridor. This award reflects FHWA's commitment to funding multimodal transportation improvements and pedestrian facility development as authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

ODOT is implementing the project in partnership with Washington County through a sub-award arrangement. The funded activities encompass design services and construction of various access and crossing enhancements intended to improve pedestrian safety within the defined project area. As a state transportation agency with extensive experience administering federal highway grants, ODOT will oversee project delivery in coordination with Washington County's Support Services Division. The project is typical of FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program, which supports state and local governments in developing safe, accessible transportation infrastructure that serves both intrastate and interstate commerce while enhancing multimodal connectivity.
