Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

  • Long-term projects: – Construction is happening near the corners of 18th and Hilyard Street this week. Lanes may be reduced to one, so expect some delays. Traffic cones and signs will help guide drivers, and workers will be available to help pedestrians around closed ramps.
  • Construction at Columbia Street and East 17th Avenue is ongoing from Monday through Friday this week. The work includes installing new storm drains, wastewater and electrical connections, and making surface improvements. Parts of East 17th Avenue, Columbia Street, Columbia Alley, and nearby streets will be affected, with detours for vehicles and pedestrians. Bike lanes on Agate Street (west side) and Moss Street (east side) are closed and combined with traffic lanes. Construction will continue in the area through summer 2027.
  • Construction at 13th Avenue and Hilyard Street is happening from Monday through Friday this week for a new University of Oregon student housing project. The right lane of Hilyard Street is closed between 13th and 11th Avenues, but the protected bike lane is mostly open with some brief closures. The east sidewalk on Hilyard between 13th and 11th is closed, and pedestrians should use the west sidewalk between 13th and 12th. The pedestrian crossing at Hilyard and 12th now has stop signs for north and south crossings, but the east-west crossing does not have stop signs or signals.
