Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

  • Long-term projects: – Construction is happening near 18th and Hilyard Street this week. Expect delays and possible lane reductions to a single lane. Watch for construction cones, signs, and workers. Pedestrians will need to follow detours around closed ramps. – Construction near the shoulders of Willamette Street and West 52nd Avenue is taking place this week. There will be heavy equipment moving in and out, which may cause delays. Access to the Ridgeline Trail from the southwest corner of West 52nd Avenue and South Willamette Street, as well as the Ridgeline Trail parking west of South Willamette Street, will be closed as needed during construction. – From Monday, July 6 to Friday, July 10, construction is happening at W 30th Ave and Portland St for a new retirement community. Parking on the west side of Portland St between W 30th Ave and W 29th Pl, and some parking north of W 29th Pl to W 28th Ave, will be closed. Pedestrians cannot use the west side of Portland St from W 30th Ave to W 29th Pl and should cross at the northwest corner of W 30th Ave and Portland St to use a temporary ramp and sidewalk on the east side. Pedestrians on W 30th Ave west of Portland St should use a temporary walkway on the north side of W 30th Ave to reach Portland St. Watch for large trucks and construction equipment.
