An emergency sewer repair project that closed the intersection of NE 47th Avenue and NE Couch Street in mid-November could take several more weeks to complete.

The intersection is completely closed to traffic 24 hours a day, seven days a week until repairs are finished.

Motorists should avoid NE 47th Avenue until repairs are complete and all traffic lanes are restored.

Traffic on East Burnside and NE Glisan should follow detour signs to NE Cesar Chavez Boulevard to avoid congestion on local streets.
