(March 31, 2025) The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) advises the traveling public that street paving will require a full closure of N Vancouver Avenue, between N Columbia Blvd and N Lombard St on Wednesday, April 2.
The road closure will impact travel during the morning commute, with the closure expected to start at 6 a.m. During the closure, crews will allow local access to homes and businesses. The road should be fully reopened at 4 p.m.
The closure is needed so crews can pave the road in an area where a sewer line was repaired, in the northbound lane.
Travelers are advised to avoid the area and use alternate routes, such as NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
We ask the public to travel slowly and cautiously in our work zones, observe all detours and directions by reader boards and flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.
This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.
People riding public transit can visit trimet.org/alerts for the latest service impacts and updates.
