Improving the Jackson School Road corridor has been part of the area's Transportation System Plan for more than four decades. In spring 2020, the City of Hillsboro officially began construction on what would be a multi-year project to improve safety for people walking, biking, and driving in the Jackson School Road corridor.
In celebration of the substantial completion of this milestone project, City of Hillsboro and Washington County officials, valued partners, and the community are gathering for a ceremonial ribbon cutting:
