Traffic Advisory:
Street improvements to close N
Interstate Avenue to all traffic from N Larrabee Avenue to N Tillamook Street, Sept
26-Oct 5
(Sept 23, 2016) – The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling
public that street improvements will require a full road closure for people
driving and biking on N Interstate Avenue from N Larrabee Avenue to N Tillamook
Street, on Monday, September 26, through Wednesday, October 5, 7 a.m. through 4
p.m. each work day. Work is expected only on weekdays and the road will be open
on the weekend.
The road closure will allow crews to grind and pave 1.77 lane miles of pavement.
Streets with ground down surfaces are open for travel. The road closure
will only be in effect during project hours. Access will be maintained for
businesses and residents during the project. Northbound traffic will be
detoured onto N Larrabee Avenue and southbound traffic will be detoured onto
the ramp that reconnects with Interstate at N Thunderbird Way via N Larrabee
Avenue.
This area is a popular route for people traveling by bicycle and public
transit. During work hours, expect to see signs indicating detours for all travelers.
Consider using alternate routes.
For information on possible impacts to TriMet service, check
trimet.org/alerts.
The traveling public is advised to expect delays while repairs are being
made. We ask the public to travel cautiously, observe all lane closures and
directions by reader boards and flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.
This work is weather-dependent and the schedule may change.
