Consultation has concluded

3 Projects Coming to OR-213: Toliver Roundabout (green); Tractor Supply Frontage (orange); Starbucks Frontage (purple) OR-213 in Molalla will soon experience a substantial facelift thanks to 3 improvement projects with the first projected to start August 2022 and the last projected to close around October 2023.

City Staff has worked tirelessly to help reduce the impacts to the community during these projects, but the improvements will not come without some growing pains.

What Are the 3 Improvement Projects?

1. The OR-213/Toliver Roundabout Project. This is a public project, managed by ODOT and jointly funded by ODOT and the City of Molalla. The project will install a roundabout at the intersection of Toliver and OR-213 due to significant safety issues and traffic delays. ODOT, as lead agency on this project, has set up a project page to help engage the public: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/projects/pages/project-details.aspx?project=20478.

2. The Tractor Supply Frontage Project. This is a private project, managed and funded by the developers of Tractor Supply, and regulated by ODOT and the City of Molalla. The project will provide a continuous left turn lane, buffered bike lane, sidewalk, and curb along the Tractor Supply frontage of OR-213. The project was intentionally delayed when Tractor Supply originally developed in order to facilitate integration with the OR-213/Toliver Roundabout Project. This integration helps mitigate construction impacts and utility conflicts. COMPLETE!

3. The Starbucks Frontage Project. This is a private project, managed and funded by the developers of a forthcoming Starbucks at 31330 Highway 213, and regulated by ODOT and the City of Molalla. The project will provide a continuation of the improvements along the OR-213 frontage of Safeway and those being constructed at Tractor Supply.

    OR 213 Roundabout at Toliver Road

    ODOT, in partnership with the City of Molalla, is improving safety at the intersection of Oregon 213 and Toliver Road in Molalla by constructing a roundabout.

    Roundabout complete

    ODOT, in partnership with the City of Molalla, improved safety at the intersection of OR 213 and Toliver Road in Molalla by constructing a roundabout.

    The roundabout will improve safety by reducing sharp turns while also accommodating the type of traffic that uses it, including large vehicles like trucks, buses and agricultural equipment.

    Now that the roundabout is open, please travel with care as everyone adjusts to the new traffic pattern. Please read below for some reminders about how to navigate through the roundabout.

    Thank you for your patience during construction. View our latest video.

    Construction photos

    An aerial view of the intersection. There is no pavement, just dirt. Machinery around intersection.

    The full intersection was excavated to construct the roundabout.

    Circular raised concrete curbs in the intersection, forming the beginning of a roundabout. Dirt surrounds it.

    After underground work was complete, we started pouring concrete elements to form the inner circles of the roundabout.

    The Roundabout is full formed with salmon-colored truck aprons. The roadway is still gravel. Heavy equipment circles around the roundabout.

    The concrete truck aprons poured in the roundabout.

    For drivers: 4 steps to traveling safely through a roundabout

    Slow as you approach. Look for signs. Watch for bikes and stop for crosswalk users. Yield to traffic in roundabout. Wait for gap. Merge.

    Ver en español. [link]

    For people riding a bike

    You can navigate the roundabout like a motor vehicle would, or use the sidewalk and crosswalks. If you use the sidewalk, yield to people walking, travel at a walking speed or walk your bike.

    For people using the sidewalk

    Stay on the sidewalk or in designated crosswalks. When preparing to cross, watch for oncoming vehicles to make sure they stop for you before proceeding. Cross one direction of travel at a time and wait at the islands in the crosswalk until your path is clear.

    Emergency Vehicles in Roundabouts

    Do not enter a roundabout when emergency vehicles are approaching. Pull over to the right. Allow other vehicles to clear the intersection so the emergency vehicles can move through the roundabout. Never stop while inside the roundabout. Instead, move through and exit the roundabout. Once you exit, pull over to the right shoulder and allow emergency vehicles to pass.

    OR 213 Roundabout at Toliver Road

    ODOT, in partnership with the City of Molalla, is improving safety at the intersection of Oregon 213 and Toliver Road in Molalla by constructing a roundabout.

    Roundabout construction update

    We are one month into our intersection closure and work is on track! While the intersection is closed until Aug. 31, we ask that you travel safely on your alternate routes.

    Completed work:

    • Installed new waterline.
    • Installed stormwater utilities (nearing completion).
    • Installed new light pole foundations.
    • Installed the new culvert under Bear Creek.
    • Poured concrete for the curbs on the edge of the roadway in the roundabout.

    Current and upcoming work:

    • Forming and pouring concrete for the sidewalk and truck aprons.
    • Building back up the foundation of the road in preparation for paving.
    • Paving.

    A length of concrete curb lining the excavated roadway in front of Tractor Supply.

    Concrete curb along the roadway. The sidewalk will be to the left of the curb in this image and connect to the sidewalk in front of Tractor Supply.

    About the project

    ODOT, in partnership with the City of Molalla, is improving safety at the intersection of OR 213 and Toliver Road in Molalla by constructing a roundabout.

    Currently, the intersection of OR 213 and Toliver Road is controlled by stop signs on Toliver Road and has a high rate of crashes. A roundabout will improve safety by reducing sharp turns while also accommodating the type of traffic that uses it, including large vehicles like trucks, buses and agricultural equipment.

    Constructing the roundabout requires widening the intersection at Toliver Road and replacing an existing culvert carrying Bear Creek under Oregon 213. The entire intersection will be excavated at one time, which will leave a hole in the roadway during construction. Because of this, all users will need to detour.

    The intersection of OR 213 and Toliver Road will be closed July 6 to Aug. 31, 2023.

    Local access to homes and businesses is open up to the work zone, but no traffic will be permitted through the intersection.

    Nighttime Noise

    Those living or working in the area may hear noise from construction. A 24/7 nighttime noise hotline is be available for noise concerns: 503-276-7893

    OR 213 Roundabout at Toliver Road

    ODOT, in partnership with the City of Molalla, is improving safety at the intersection of Oregon 213 and Toliver Road in Molalla by constructing a roundabout.

    Roundabout construction update

    Work is progressing nicely to build the roundabout on OR 213 at Toliver Road. While the intersection is closed until Aug. 31, we ask that you travel safely on your alternate routes.

    Two weeks into our intersection closure, the following activities are underway:

    • Installing new waterline and stormwater utilities.
    • Installing new light pole foundations.
    • Preparing the intersection to form the foundation of the roundabout.
    • Installing the new culvert under Bear Creek.

    Over the next several weeks, crews will finish the underground utility work and continue to build the foundation and base layers of the roundabout.

    In the background is the highway. In the foreground is piles of dirt, holes, and heavy equipment.

    The entire intersection is being excavated at once, requiring a closure of the intersection to all users.

    In the background are large concrete boxes. Heavy equipment excavated a hole.

    The new culvert consists of pre-cast concrete boxes that are set into place.

    The concrete boxes are placed in a chain and placed under the highway.

    The culvert pieces are in position under where the surface of the highway will be.
