(6/5/26) We're happy to share an update on the NE Halsey and 81st Ave mini-roundabout. Earlier this week, our contractor installed the new roadway striping - the final step before opening. Now, the traffic control team is preparing the site to open. We expect the mini-roundabout to open for travel next week, once all safety checks are complete. Westbound travel on NE Halsey will also reopen at that time.
Here are some key activities completed at the roundabout during May:
- Power company energized the new poles
- Electrical subcontractor completed streetlight work
- Prepared ground surface for paving
- Paving subcontractor paved the north half of the roundabout
- Concrete subcontractor formed and poured ADA ramps and traffic islands
Thank you for your patience while we completed this work.
What's still ahead for the NE Halsey Safety and Access to Transit project:
| Mid-June | Striping work on NE Jonesmore and the NE Jonesmore-Halsey intersection | Will require temporary closure of traffic signal |
|---|---|---|
| June-July | NE 88th and Halsey rapid flashing beacon pole installation | No lane closures required |
| June-July | Street signage, fence construction, final planting | No lane closures required |
| Late summer | NE Halsey 84th to 91st avenues long line striping | May require temporary lane closures |
| Late summer | NE Halsey bridge over I‑84 smoothing the bridge pavement, installing protective fencing, adding new lane striping, and separating the two-way bike lane | May require temporary lane closures |
