(November 6, 2013) – The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that street improvements will require lane closures on East   Burnside Street between 44^th and 47^th avenues from today, Wednesday, November 6 through Monday, November 11th from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. 

One traffic lane in each direction will remain open at all times. Local access to residences and businesses will be provided. The lane closures are necessary to grind down the existing pavement and repave .43 lane miles of the street.

The public is advised to expect delays on East Burnside while repairs are being made. We ask the public to travel cautiously, observe all lane closures and directions by flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.

This work is weather-dependent and the schedule may change.
