SW Capitol Highway Virtual Construction Open Houses This Thursday
The SW Capitol Highway: Multnomah Village - West Portland project is starting construction, and PBOT is hosting two virtual open houses this week to share information on what to expect during the 18-month construction phase of this long-awaited project.
A live presentation will take place on Zoom, Thursday, June 10th, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. It will take the form of a webinar in which the project team presents a slide show, then participants can write in questions using a Q&A feature within Zoom. A moderator will sort through the written questions and provide them to the presenters in real time. Live verbal questions will not be enabled due to the expected large number of participants. Advance registration is not necessary. The Zoom link is below:

A separate, self-guided open house featuring an interactive map also will become available on June 10 and left open for several weeks. It will present much of the same information that will be covered in the Zoom presentation. Once the self-guided open house link becomes available it will be provided under the "What's Happening How" section of the project webpage, where the Zoom link is already posted.
People who have additional questions or want to speak or email one-on-one with project staff before or after the open house can use the project-specific email and hotline to best reach staff:
Email: capitolhighway@portlandoregon.gov
Hotline: 503.823.2516
Major construction will start on or around June 14 with vegetation clearing on SW Capitol Highway. A planned detour of SW Capitol Highway traffic onto SW 45th/48th Avenues will not begin until August. PBOT will release Traffic Advisories before any major detours.
