Olney-Portland-Wall Construction
Changes are happening above and below ground to Portland Avenue, Olney Avenue and the intersection of Wall Street and Olney Avenue. To reduce impacts, projects are coordinating construction schedules. Business access is open during construction. Dates are estimates and subject to change.

Traffic Impacts and Travel Tips During Construction
We know that road closures are frustrating. We have worked with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to lengthen the time that traffic signals are green on Greenwood Avenue heading east and west to allow for more traffic flow.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to improve our aging infrastructure and make our streets safer.
Here are some tips that may make traveling during construction easier:
- Plan your route ahead of time so you know where you are headed (see below)
- Give yourself extra time to get to your destination
- Give yourself even more time when it snows
Need Help Finding Your Route?
Here is a map that could potentially help you get around town easier. Some potential east-west routes you can take are:
- Mt. Washington Drive and Butler Market Road on the north end of town
- Newport Avenue and Greenwood Avenue through downtown
- Franklin Avenue Through Downtown
- Reed Market Road on the South end of town
Project information is available on each project’s page.
