The Royle Road Corridor is undergoing segmented improvements which include new asphalt, bike lanes, pedestrian sidewalks, center medians, a new water line, and an improved fish culvert at Gee Creek. When completed, bicyclists and pedestrians will be able to travel without interruption between Pioneer Street and Hillhurst Road.

Our Road Construction and Traffic Impact page found here, will be updated regularly with any significant impacts that may affect the community.

Project Background

In 2016, City Staff and City Council identified the need for improvements for S. Royle Road, which has been an integral part of Ridgefield's road system for many decades, and is an important north-south transportation route for residents, businesses and visitors.

S. Royle Road also connects with S. 15th Street/ Wells Drive, an east-west collector route which connects developing residential areas to the west in the area known as the “Doughnut Hole” with the industrial and business park areas to the east toward Timm Road.

The City has divided the Royle Road corridor improvements into phases:

  • Phase 1 (Completed 2023): Central Section of Royle Road, between S. 19th Street and north of S. 15thStreet/ Wells Drive.
  • Phase 2 (Completed 2024): Northern Section of Royle Road, between north of South 15th Street and south of South 3rd Way.
  • Phase 3 (Design Underway): Southern Section of Royle Road, between South Hay Field Circle and Hillhurst Road.
  • Phase 4 (Design Underway): Gee Creek Culvert Improvement, between Phase 3 and Phase 5.
  • Phase 5 (Design Underway): Section of Royle Road between S 19th Street and Phase 4 Gee Creek Culvert.

Current Steps

The City has been awarded a “Transportation Improvement Board” grant to assist with the cost of Phase 3, Southern Section of Royle Road. The Gee Creek Culvert segment has been award grant assistance from the “Brian Abbott Fish Barrier Removal Board”. The City is seeking additional funding assistance for construction of the project

  • Share Hi there! I know all the focus is on Pioneer right now, but wanted to see if there is an updated time frame for when the 3rd phase of Royle (Seven Wells to Hillhurst) will be completed or when the work will start on that section? I know there are a lot of residents in Seven Wells, Cloverhill and all the other neighborhoods that would love to have sidewalks so kids can walk to and from school if they want. on Facebook Share Hi there!

    Hello, 

    The timeline for construction of Phase 3 is still 2026/2027. Grant and federal funding requests are pending to fund the project and required environmental work is beginning in 2025.

    We absolutely recognize that this project is a high priority for safety and multimodal travel. We are working to provide the improvement as soon as possible. In the meantime, in recognition of the current conditions of the road, City Council has implemented a temporary speed limit reduction on that segment of Royle to encourage caution and safe driving.

    Thank you for your question and for bringing this to our attention. The project was mistakenly removed from the Road Construction page for a short period and has since been added back. 

    We are anticipating opening S Fieldcrest Dr in mid-August and the project is projected to be completed by the end of August.
