(March 29, 2017) – Environmental Services advises the traveling public that a sewer construction project will require lane restrictions on Highway 43 at SW Terwilliger Boulevard near the entry way to Lake Oswego beginning 10 p.m. Friday, March 31, and continuing 24 hours a day for up to two months. One lane will be open in each direction at all times.
The traveling public is advised to expect some delays, to travel cautiously and to observe the lane closures and signage.
The lane restrictions will allow crews to install two manholes and about 80 feet of pipe under Highway 43 between SW Terwilliger Blvd and E Avenue. The work is part of the SW Terwilliger Sewer Project to improve wastewater collection in the area and to protect water quality, public health, and our environment.
