(Sept. 3, 2025) The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) continues their work repairing and repaving NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard this week from NE Holladay to East Burnside Street. The work is funded by Fixing Our Streets, Portland's voter-approved 10-cent gas tax and heavy vehicle use tax for fixing our streets and making them safer for all.
Maintenance crews will work from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on business days and possibly weekends. Crews will complete one travel lane before starting on the next. The work is expected to be complete on Sept. 25.
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.
