Traffic Advisory Lane closure at SE Grand Avenue Market Street, Grand Avenue Salmon Street, and Grand Avenue Ankeny Street

Environmental Services closes several lanes on SE Grand Avenue for emergency repairs due to unstable soil around maintenance hole risers. The closures impact areas between SE Stephens and SE Market Streets, SE Salmon Street, and SE Ankeny Street, and are expected to remain in place until mid-November. This work is part of the Grand Avenue Risers Stabilization Project aimed at correcting an uneven roadway that has emerged due to soil instability. Local access for residents and businesses will continue, while sidewalks and crosswalks will stay open for pedestrian use. Parking near the construction sites will be restricted to ensure safety.

Public transit riders should visit TriMet and Portland Streetcar websites to stay informed about any service impacts. Officials urge drivers to expect delays and consider alternate routes while the work is ongoing. The project highlights the city's commitment to maintaining safe road conditions for all users.
