Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

• Long-term projects: – Adams Street is partially closed between W 6th Avenue and W 5th Avenue on the west side, and from W 5th Alley north on the east side. W 5th Alley is closed between Monroe Street and Adams Street. Pedestrian access is closed on the east side of Adams Street at W 5th Alley and on the south side of W 5th Avenue from Adams Street toward Monroe Street. Pedestrians heading west on the south side of W 5th Avenue should use the north side at Monroe Street. The eastbound bike lane on W 5th Avenue near Adams Street is closed; bicyclists should detour north on Adams Street to W 4th Avenue, then east to Monroe Street, and south back to W 5th Avenue.
• Construction near 18th Avenue and Hilyard Street is happening this week. Expect delays and possible lane reductions to a single lane. Watch for traffic cones and signs guiding vehicles through the area. Pedestrians should follow detours around closed ramps, and workers will be available to help.
• Broadway paving work (Phase 2) will continue during the daytime this week, but milling and paving will be postponed until late spring or early summer 2027 due to winter weather and increased school traffic. Remaining work includes milling, paving, permanent striping, and installing traffic signal detection loops, which require dry weather and warmer temperatures.
• From Monday, November 2 through Friday, November 6, construction at 11th Avenue and Willamette Street will cause moderate traffic impacts. On 11th Avenue, through and left-turn traffic will share one lane, while buses, bikes, and right turns will share another. The parking lane on Willamette Street between 11th Avenue and E 10th Alley will be closed. Sidewalks will be closed on the north side of 11th Avenue at Oak Alley and on the east side of Willamette Street near E 10th Alley. Pedestrian detours are available on the south side of 11th Avenue between Oak Street and Willamette Street, and on the west side of Willamette between 10th and 11th Avenues. All nearby businesses will remain open. This is part of a housing project expected to open in 2028, with long-term traffic impacts expected.
• From Monday, November 2 to Friday, November 6, construction at 13th Avenue and Hilyard Street for a new University of Oregon student housing project will close the right lane of Hilyard Street between 13th and 11th Avenues. The protected bike lane will mostly stay open, with occasional brief closures. The east sidewalk on Hilyard Street between 13th and 11th Avenues will be closed; pedestrians should use the west sidewalk between 13th and 12th Avenues. The pedestrian crossing at Hilyard and 12th Avenue now has stop signs for north and south pedestrian traffic, but the east-west crossing has no stop control or signals.
