Contractors with PBOT, Raimore Construction, repair pavement on 82nd Avenue south of NE Fremont.
Construction updates
Overview: June 23 – July 4
No work on Friday, July 4 in observance of the Fourth of July holiday.
In the next two weeks, contractors with PBOT will have several active work zones along NE/SE 82nd Avenue and adjacent streets with lane closures and detours of side streets. One lane in each direction on 82nd Avenue will remain open during construction. People traveling on NE/SE 82nd Avenue can expect delays, especially during the morning and evening commutes. Please travel safely around work zones and pay attention to all flaggers, detour signs, and traffic control devices. Pedestrian routing will be in place around work zones.
Details and traffic impacts:
- NE Beech to Fremont – Concrete island construction will require lane closures.
- NE Siskiyou to Russell – Paving in this stretch continues and is expected to complete in mid-July. Driveway access will be impacted temporarily during outer lane excavation and paving, and contractors will coordinate with individual businesses to limit driveway access disruptions. Pedestrian access will be maintained.

82nd Avenue Crossings Project update
NE 82nd and Schuyler signal is now active! Contractors are coordinating with utilities to power the new signal on NE 82nd Avenue at NE Klickitat and Schuyler. New signals at SE Clinton and Schiller are active. Pedestrian crossings at NE Beech and SE Ash are also active.
Two new crossing improvements at the intersections of SE 82nd and Ramona and SE 82nd and Tolman will break ground in late summer or early fall.
Current funding will not cover the improvements at SE 82nd and Lambert at this time. The improvements at SE 82nd and Lambert have been designed and we have applied for additional federal funding for this intersection which will be constructed if the funds are awarded.
82nd Avenue is Open for Business During Construction!
82nd Avenue is home to hundreds of locally owned and culturally diverse businesses. We invite you to show 82nd Avenue businesses some love during and after construction.
