Travel Advisory:
Landslide closes West Burnside, Skyline-NW 23rd Ave through Thursday
morning commute
 (6:30 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 19, 2017) The Portland Bureau of Transportation
advises the traveling public that West Burnside St has been closed to
through traffic from NW Skyline to NW 23rd Avenue. It is expected to
remain closed at least through the Thursday morning commute, as
engineers and PBOT crews assess the safety of the area.
The traveling public should plan to use alternate routes through late
Thursday morning. We will provide updates on Thursday as information
becomes available. Daylight conditions are needed to make a full
assessment of the situation.
Local access for residents only is permitted westbound to NW Uptown
Terrace and eastbound to NW Maywood Drive and NW Hermosa Blvd and nearly
streets.
Transportation crews are inspecting the site and barricading it to keep
the public a safe distance away. Avoid the area. Use alternate routes.
Obey street closed and other signage.
Update information on storm related road closures citywide is available on the PBOT web site and Twitter account.
