The Bull Run Filtration project continues to impact traffic on Dodge Park Boulevard, with disruptions expected until October 31. A full road closure is enforced between Altman Road and Cottrell Road, permitting only local access with detours for through traffic to Lusted Road or Bluff Road.

During the week of October 27, residents can join a coffee session with the contractor to learn more about the project. These traffic updates are crucial for maintaining safety and managing local commutes. The ongoing construction reflects Portland's commitment to improving water infrastructure and community engagement.
