The new signalized pedestrian crossing at NE 82nd Avenue at Klickitat Street is nearing completion. The median island features a red brick pattern within the intersection and trees and shrubs are set back from where crosswalks will be installed. The finished sidewalk includes new street trees. When weather allows, contractors with PBOT will install temporary striping and prepare to turn on the new signals. Later this spring, permanent striping will be installed.

Construction Updates

Overview: February 17-28 
No work on Friday, February 14 due to winter weather

In the next two weeks, PBOT will have several active work zones along NE/SE 82nd Avenue and adjacent streets with lane closures and detours of side streets. Please travel safely around work zones and pay attention to all flaggers, detour signs, and traffic control devices.    

Details and traffic impacts: 

  • NE 82nd between Milton and Fremont – sidewalk work will require lane closures and pedestrian detours
  • NE Fremont between 81st and 83rd underground work east and west of 82nd will require lane closures
  • NE 82nd between Russell and Brazee – underground work on the west side of 82nd will require lane closures
  • SE Mill between 82nd and 83rd – corner ramp work and sidewalk construction on the south side of SE Mill will require lane closures
  • SE 82nd between Harrison and Division – underground work will require lane closures
  • SE 82nd at Woodward – underground work near the intersection will require the signal to be shut down and traffic will be directed by flaggers. One lane in each direction will be maintained. Vehicles will be able to turn in all directions at the intersection, including into and out of the Fubonn Shopping Center driveway.  
  • SE Woodward between 82nd and 81st underground work will require a road closure of SE Woodward and vehicle detour
  • SE Kelly – underground work will require side street closure of SE Kelly east of 82nd and lane closures on SE 82nd near Kelly 

In addition to the above worksites, sump testing will take place at various locations with brief lane closures.
