Citing the need for more time due to difficult working conditions, the contractor for the Portland Water Bureau will continue work in the intersection of SW Naito Parkway at SW Market Street until Friday, May 18. The work could be completed sooner.

Work hours will be from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, after morning and before evening rush hours.

With a smaller work zone, fewer traffic lanes will be closed and the signal lights will be on. Flaggers and traffic cones will help move motorists past the site. Motorists and bicyclists are encouraged to find alternate routes to avoid delays.

This work is part of the second phase of the Portland Water Bureau's Westside Header Project to replace an aging supply pipeline that is critical to the city’s water system.
