(August 1, 2014)  – The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that reconstruction of the SW Stephenson and Boones Ferry intersection will require the full closure of SW Stephenson Street between SW Stephenson Court and SW Boones Ferry Road from Monday, August 4 through Sunday, August 17, 2014 all hours and all days.

Crews are realigning the intersection to improve safety and sight lines for travelers turning onto SW Boones Ferry Road from SW Stephenson Street.

During construction, the public is advised to expect delays, travel cautiously, observe all closures and directions by flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.

Eastbound traffic on SW Stephenson Street will be detoured at SW Lancaster Road.  All westbound traffic will be detoured at SW Arnold Street. 

Local access to residences will be provided.

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