Work on I-205 Light Rail project to impact traffic on SE Woodstock

On-ramp to I-205 will have overnight closure January 30

On Wednesday, Jan. 30, crews on the I-205 Light Rail project will close the SE Woodstock on-ramp to I-205 to install signage from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Signs will be posted detouring traffic around the area and there will be minor delays.

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.
