(August 8, 2014) – The Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that Portland Streetcar construction work will require a complete closure of SW Montgomery Street from SW Fourth to Fifth avenues from Monday, August 11 through September 28, 2014.
In addition, periodic lane closures will be required on SW Fourth Avenue between SW Harrison and Mill streets.
Construction will be complete before classes resume at nearby Portland State University on September 29.
