Dryland Road Guardrail

The project will install a guardrail along 400 feet of Dryland Road between Heinz Road and Barnards Road at the curve.

Why

Dryland Road is a rural road with a slight curve immediately south of a crest in the Molalla area. To prevent future vehicles from leaving the roadway, and to reduce the severity of future lane-departure crashes along this segment of Dryland Road.
