Construction crews are working to expand the intersection at Tucker Road and Guignard Drive to make it safer and easier for big trucks to turn. The project is expected to continue through May or June, and flaggers are directing traffic at the intersection.

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Hood River County are widening the roadway at two intersections — Country Club at Barrett Drive and Tucker Road at Guignard Drive — to make it easier and safer for freight trucks to turn. The project also includes improvements to paving, stormwater drainage, signage and striping at both intersections.
Work to expand the intersection has already begun at Tucker and Guignard, and flaggers are on-hand to direct traffic.
 At County Club and Barrett, construction crews are rebuilding a private resident’s architectural wall to accommodate for the change in ODOT’s right-of-way. The wall should be finished within the next week or so, construction crews said, and then the trees beside the intersection will be cut down and the roadway expanded.
While the project was scheduled to start in February, it was delayed until March 20 due to inclement weather. Construction is expected to continue through May or June 2019.
