El trabajo de diseño en el Proyecto de Tren Ligero del Corredor Suroeste se detuvo en 2020 después de que los votantes rechazaran una medida de financiamiento local para múltiples mejoras de transporte. A principios de 2022, Metro, TriMet y la Administración Federal de Tránsito completaron la Declaración Final de Impacto Ambiental (FEIS), y emitieron un Registro de Decisión (ROD) para garantizar que el proyecto sea elegible para futuros fondos federales.

Overhead structures are required where there are existing freeways, streets and railroad tracks that the trackway must cross over. Some structures along the trackway will be major visual features in the community. The design of these structures will be guided by the overall project principles to better integrate with the community. Design work for these structures will take place over the next few years.
Major structures
Avoids impacts to vehicle circulation around this area and makes bus and light rail connections efficient with an easy and reliable connection to the Portland Transit Mall.
Avoids impacts to vehicle circulation around this area and provides ODOT flexibility for any future changes to the freeway interchange.
Avoids traffic impacts at this critical intersection. These improvements shift the I-5 off ramps, but do not reduce lanes on Pacific Hwy/99W.
Connects light rail from Tigard Triangle to Downtown Tigard. While currently not part of the project scope, an integrated multi-use pathway is a desired active transportation component. Both TriMet and the City of Tigard agree the multi-use pathway is a project betterment and will partner to be co-applicants for funding.
The Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project has committed to replacing the timber supported, 1934 Newbury and Vermont viaducts along Barbur Boulevard. The new structures are designed to carry four auto lanes, light rail, and improved bike and pedestrian facilities, creating a better experience for all modes. To protect the nearby natural areas, the viaduct design and construction methods used will minimize impact to the sensitive area, maintaining permeability of this rich and vital east-west habitat corridor and enhancing the view opportunities.
