(July 2, 2024) The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) advises the traveling public to expect the right lane of eastbound East Burnside to be closed at the 4200 block for road repairs. The closure and work started on Monday. The closure lasts all hours, all days until the lane reopens, expected on July 10.
The base underneath the road has started failing. PBOT crews are digging deep to replace the rock base below the surface, resulting in smoother pavement today, and preventing the need for more costly reconstruction later on.
Expect delays while repairs are being made. Travel slowly and cautiously in our work zones, observe all directions by reader boards and flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible. Nearby residents and businesses can expect construction noise during daytime hours.
No impacts to public transit service or access for people biking or walking in the area are expected.
Watch and listen to PBOT Maintenance crews in this video as they share why work zone safety is essential.
This work is weather dependent and the schedule is subject to change.
