Transportation and roads

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is planning to begin construction of the Alternative Pedestrian Walkway on NE 60th in the Cully Neighborhood the week of August 17.

New street plazas are popping up in Portland this month as part of the Portland Bureau of Transportation’s (PBOT) Healthy Businesses permit program, which allows for temporary changes to streets to give people more space to conduct business safely during the Covid-19 public health crisis

The project will repave and reconstruct SW Naito Parkway between I-405 and SW Lincoln Street, add new traffic signals, and create a two-way separated pedestrian and bike path between SW Harrison and Clay streets.

The project increases safety for freight, motor vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic.

Paving between Powell and Division, and continued sidewalk work further south

Starting Sunday, July 26, the Glisan offramp of I-405 will be temporarily closed for approximately five weeks and NW 16th Avenue will be reduced to one lane of traffic.

The City of Portland today demanded that federal authorities remove a metal fence and concrete barriers that were illegally installed on Wednesday around the federal courthouse in downtown Portland.

The project is moving forward with some delays. This update was sent to the project e-mail list on July 15, 2020.
