What’s happening now?
Construction is underway.
Traffic Alert: Due to the oversized load and for the safety of travelers, the delivery and unloading of 100 foot steel girders for the Red Electric Bridge Project will require temporary traffic delays and lane closures on SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and SW Capitol Highway near the intersection of SW Bertha Boulevard on Wednesday, Sept. 29 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
We ask the public to travel cautiously, observe all directions by temporary traffic signals and flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible. PBOT greatly appreciates the patience and understanding of nearby residents and businesses.
