(December 18, 2013) – The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that street improvements will require lane closures on SE 26th Avenue between SE Caruthers Street and SE Harrison Street Thursday, December 19 and Friday, December 20, 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. each day.

One traffic lane will remain open at all times. Local access to residences and businesses will be provided.  The lane closures are necessary to allow crews to grind down the existing pavement and repave .47 lane miles of the street.

The public is advised to expect delays while repairs are being made. We ask the public to travel cautiously, observe all lane closures and directions by flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.

This work is weather-dependent and the schedule may change.
