The Meek Street Pipeline project was identified in the 2014 Stormwater Master Plans to alleviate flooding in the Harrison St. stormwater system. Due to the installation of the pipeline in the roadway, there will be impacts to traffic along the route, which will include periodic street closures.
The following street closures will take place for this project in the coming weeks:
- Harrison Street: Monday, May 4 through Thursday, May 7 (Nighttime work from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.)
Harrison St. will be closed between 32nd Ave. and highway 224 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. TriMet is aware of the closure and will reroute buses as needed. For anyone that accesses TriMet buses in that area during that time, please plan your trip at https://trimet.org/ to find the closest bus stops outside of that area. - Railroad Avenue: Monday, May 11 through Friday, May 15 (Daytime work)
Railroad Ave. will be closed from Harrison St. to Oak St. throughout the daytime hours. Access will be available to only the Fire Department and City Well Site. - Monroe Avenue: Monday, May 18 through Friday, May 22 (Daytime work)
