Construction Impacts
We’ll do most of the work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, but we’ll do the heavier work — such as installing traffic signals and repaving — at night, when impacts will affect fewer travelers (and be safer for workers).
We’ve received a noise variance from the City of Portland to do limited work between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. The noise concerns hotline is 503-294-2125. This number is available for nearby residents and businesses to help resolve any noise-related concerns 24 hours a day.
Meetings and Events
Join our online open house in English and Español until January 31. You'll find out what to expect during construction, and how travelers will benefit once the work is complete.
We also held in-person and online open houses in March 2019 and January 2020.
