(April 9, 2026) The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will officially start the paving season on Monday, April 13 with repaving 1.14 lane miles on NE Siskiyou Street from NE 7th to 17th avenues. 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.

This neighborhood greenway is popular for people on bikes and other non-motor vehicles. During construction, all travelers will be asked to detour to NE Klickitat Street. Sidewalks will remain open at all times for pedestrians. 

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 completed by April 22, 2026.

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. 

This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.
