In a recent announcement by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), significant construction work is slated to begin today, focusing on the repair and repaving of N Kilpatrick Street from N Denver to Delaware avenues. The project's expected completion date is June 9, barring any delay due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
According to an update posted on Portland Bureau of Transportation's Facebook page, this round-the-clock operation will have maintenance crews bustling from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on business days and possibly weekends to minimize the span of disruption, they will start by targeting one lane and then proceed to the opposing lane ensuring at least a semblance of traffic flow remains.
Travelers in the impacted area should anticipate delays and heed all instructions provided by flagging personnel, PBOT cautions, suggesting that, if possible, locals take alternate routes during this period. While the construction ensues, TriMet buses will have the exclusive privilege of navigating the affected travel lanes, ensuring that public transit remains in motion amidst the roadway refurbishments.
