(April 14, 2014) – The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that street improvements will require lane closures on SE 52^nd Avenue between SE Powell Boulevard and SE Division Street from Wednesday, April 16 through Thursday, April 24, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

One traffic lane will remain open at all times. Local access to residences and businesses will be provided.

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.

The lane closures are necessary to allow crews to grind down 1.68 lane miles of deteriorated asphalt in preparation for repaving.  Paving will occur during a window of dry weather.

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