I-205 Light Rail work impacts traffic on SE 92nd Ave

Crews will set bridge girders Feb. 20 & 21

I-205 Light Rail construction will impact traffic on SE 92nd Ave at Crystal Springs Blvd on Feb. 20-21. Flaggers and signs will detour traffic around the site using SE Johnson Creek Blvd or SE Flavel to 82nd Ave as crews set bridge girders. Motorists should expect delays.

Traffic impacts

• Wednesday, Feb. 20 - Full closure on SE 92nd at Crystal Springs between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
• Thursday, Feb. 21 - Full-to-partial-closure on SE 92nd at Crystal Springs with delays up to 45 minutes if motorists do not use the detour between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

About the project

TriMet's fifth MAX line will add light rail between Gateway Transit Center and Clackamas Town Center, and to 5th and 6th avenues in downtown Portland between Union Station and Portland State University (PSU). It is the first light rail extension into Clackamas County, it will serve the heart of downtown Portland and the busiest transit destination in the TriMet system - PSU. When it opens in September 2009, it will help revitalize the Mall and poise the region for future rail extensions.
