Walker Road and Murray Boulevard Intersection

We will widen the Walker Road and Murray Boulevard intersection with dual left-turn lanes and dedicated right-turn lanes on all four sides of the intersection.

We will also add a third southbound lane on Murray Boulevard, from south of Butner Road through the Walker Road intersection. The additional lane will become a dedicated right-turn lane at Bowerman Drive, south of the intersection.

Other improvements include replacing two bridges over Cedar Mill Creek, adjacent to the intersection, and replacing two culverts on Walker Road between Far Vista and Park Way.

This project is in partnership with the city of Beaverton, Clean Water Services and Tualatin Valley Water District.

Construction start (expected): Summer 2025
Construction finish (expected): Fall 2028

We are installing new bridges and culverts at the following locations:

Murray Boulevard, south of Walker Road (Cedar Mill Creek)
Walker Road, east of Murray Boulevard (Cedar Mill Creek)
Walker Road, west of Park Way (North Johnson Creek)
Far Vista Drive, south of Walker Road (North Johnson Creek)

This work includes realigning a portion of North Johnson Creek where it meets Cedar Mill Creek. We are submitting a required Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

This work is expected to change the the flood zones northeast of the Walker Road and Murray Boulevard intersection. In most cases, property owners should see a less and less frequent flooding from these creeks during large storms.
