UPDATE June 27, 2025: This project has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date.
(June 20, 2025) Beginning on Wednesday, June 25, the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will be repairing and repaving NE 26th Avenue from NE Broadway to Knott streets. The work is expected to last approximately six business days and conclude on July 3.
Maintenance crews will work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on business days and possibly weekends. Crews will complete one travel lane before beginning work on the opposing lane. Only TriMet buses will be allowed to move through travel lanes under construction.
This work is funded by Fixing Our Streets, the 10-cent per gallon gas tax overwhelmingly renewed by voters in May 2024. Fixing Our Streets paving dollars are focused on preventive maintenance like grind-and-inlay and sealing treatments that preserve and extend the life of our roads.
Priority locations for paving include Neighborhood Greenways, such as NE 26th Avenue.
The traveling public is advised to expect delays, travel cautiously, observe all closures and directions by flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible. Local access to residences and businesses will remain available. Sidewalks will remain open at all times for pedestrians. Public transit riders should check TriMet.org for service impacts.
This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.
