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.

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.
