SW Capitol Highway: Multnomah to Texas
SW 33rd Ave & Capitol Hwy SW Miles St & Capitol Hwy
What's happening now?
Construction will begin May 29th, 2019. See schedule below.
Contractor:
Granite Construction Company
Project Description:
The pavement condition on SW Capitol Highway has deteriorated to a point that sections of it require a complete rebuild and other sections require removing a minimum of 2.5 inches of pavement before repaving.
In addition to repaving the street, all existing curb ramps will be updated to be ADA compliant and new ones will be installed where needed.
On SW 35th Avenue, just north of SW Capitol Highway, PBOT is partnering with ARM Property Management to do the sidewalk improvements.
PBOT is also partnering with the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) to do sewer pipe spot repairs and other improvements within the project limits. These repairs will replace 820 feet of 80-year-old public sewer pipes along SW Capitol Highway between SW 35th Avenue and SW Texas Street. Taking these actions now will help protect the public and the environment by reducing the possibility of costly breaks, leaks, blockages, and sewage releases to homes, businesses, and streets.

Current Project Phase: Under construction. For your safety and the safety of workers, we ask the public to travel cautiously, observe all lane detours and directions by reader boards and flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve the street.
Total Project Budget: $1,700,000 from Fixing Our Streets. Other funding sources include the Bureau of Environmental Services and collaboration with nearby developers.
