Building a Better 82nd: March 30, 2026

Construction updates

Overview: March 30 – April 10 

In the next two weeks, contractors with PBOT will have several active work zones along NE/SE 82nd Avenue. 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.  

Details and traffic impacts:   

• NE Fremont to Tillamook – Activating new signals at NE Fremont and NE Tillamook streets will require the existing signals to be shut down and intersection traffic flagged intermittently. 
• SE Woodward – Concrete restoration will require lane closures on 82nd and lane closures in the driveway access to Fubonn Shopping Center. No turn restrictions will be in place and flaggers will maintain traffic in all directions. Additional access to Fubonn Shopping Center is available via SE 85th Avenue.
• SE Tibbetts to Brooklyn – Sidewalk work and signal installation will require lane closures on 82nd Avenue.
• SE Lafayette– Activating the new signal will require the existing signal to be shut down and intersection traffic flagged intermittently. 
• SE Liebe – Corner ramp construction will require a lane closure on 82nd Avenue and a side street closure of SE Liebe Street. 
• SE Raymond Street – Corner ramp and underground work will require lane closures on 82nd Avenue and SE Raymond Street west of 82nd Avenue to beclosed to vehicle traffic just west of 82nd Avenue. This road closure will be in effect Monday–Friday, 24 hours a day. Pedestrians and bicyclists will be able to cross 82nd Avenue at the existing crosswalk. Vehicles can use SE Mitchell Street as an alternate route. 
• SE Raymond Court to Insley– Sidewalk and underground utility work will require lane closures on 82nd Avenue.
• SE Insley to Foster– Sidewalk and corner ramp work will require lane closures on 82nd Avenue. 
• SE Ramona – Center median island construction will require lane closures on SE 82nd Avenue.
• SE Tolman – Center median island construction will require lane closures on SE 82nd Avenue.

In addition to the above, contractors will be completing punch list items throughout the work zone. Remaining punch list items will require intermittent lane closures on 82nd Avenue.
