Starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, SW Fourth Avenue between SW Taylor Street and SW Alder Street will be closed for the SW Fourth Avenue Improvement Project. "This work requires a full closure of SW Fourth Avenue northbound between SW Taylor Street and SW Alder Street." Drivers heading north should use SW Salmon Street to SW Second Avenue as a detour, according to the City of Portland.
Nighttime construction will take place on Friday night through August 25, including grinding, paving, and adjusting maintenance hole lids and installing traffic dividers. Access to the 4th and Yamhill SmartPark will be restricted, so "Customers are encouraged to utilize the nearby 3rd and Alder SmartPark at 621 SW 3rd Ave, accessing it via SW Third Avenue," as reported by the City of Portland.
Mango and David Yurman have opened at Pioneer Place. Din Tai Fung offers "Golden Hour" with discounted dumplings from 3–6 p.m., Monday to Thursday, and some stores validate parking at the 3rd and Alder SmartPark. Street work is ongoing on SW Fourth Avenue up to W Burnside Street, including ADA-compliant ramps and stormwater repairs. Portland Bureau of Transportation has paving and road closures scheduled for September 5 and 12, with updates available on their project website, as stated by the City of Portland.
