 The closure will be in effect 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each weekday and affects SW Hamilton Terrace between SW Terwilliger Boulevard and SW Bancroft Street.

 Drivers seeking to access SW Terwilliger Boulevard are asked to use alternate routes. A sidewalk will be open for people walking and bicycling.

 The work is part of the SW Hamilton Terrace Sewer Repair Project. Environmental Services is repairing 200 linear feet of sewer pipe and a manhole that is deteriorating due to age. The repair will extend the life of the sewer and protect public health, water quality and the environment. www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/HamiltonTerrace.
