SE 82nd Avenue (OR 213) paving and safety improvements from Foster Road to Thompson Road

Construction Phase

Region 1: Portland metro and Hood River County (Clackamas, Multnomah)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We are making safety improvements on SE 82nd Avenue from south of SE Foster Road to SE Thompson Road which include installing four new enhanced pedestrian crossings, known as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Becons (RRFBs), upgrades to curb ramps that meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and new sidewalks in select locations. We will also repave SE 82nd Avenue in both directions between SE Foster Road and SE Lindy Street.

Impacts

Traffic Impact

  • Daytime and nighttime lane closures on SE 82nd Ave. between SE Foster Road and SE Thompson Road, with at least one lane open in each direction at a time. 
  • Some side streets will temporarily close at their intersections during construction activities with detours in place.
  • Temporary intersection closures during construction activities with detours in place.
  • Temporary pedestrian accessible detour routes for people walking, biking and rolling during construction.​​

Construction Impacts

In addition to day work, expect night work within the project limits on 82nd Avenue between Foster to Thompson while crews continue ADA curb ramp work, underground drainage work, pipe and electrical work.*

Current traffic impacts (Nov. 30-Dec. 7):​
  • No traffic impacts.
​What to Expect During Construction
  • Daytime and nighttime work.
  • One traffic lane will remain open in each direction on SE 82nd Avenue.
  • Side streets will temporarily close at their intersections and detours will be in place.
  • Flaggers will direct traffic through intersections.
  • Temporary, accessible sidewalk detour routes will be in place.
What's Happening This Fall
Over the fall of 2024, crews will continue installing permanent signs, building new ADA-accessible curb ramps, new sidewalks in select locations and will start constructing the new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons. Underground drainage work and underground maintenance work continues. We expect to pave the rest of SE 82nd Avenue from SE Ogden Road to the southern project limits in spring 2025. 
​

​ During construction, people who live or work near the project work areas may hear periodic construction noise from heavy equipment, construction trucks, and tools such as concrete saws, drills, jackhammers and pavement grinders.

* Night Work
​To reduce traffic impacts during the day on SE 82nd Ave., some construction work will occur at night. Nighttime construction noise will take place periodically from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Tips for Traveling Safely in Work Zones​

  • Orange is your cue! Pay attention when you see orange signs, barrels, cones and barricades.
  • Obey all speed signs for your safety and the safety of others.
  • Expect delays—plan for them—and leave early so you can drive safely through the work zone.
  • Allow extra time when traveling and follow all signs and flaggers for safety.​​

Travelers should expect delays in the area during construction activities. For the most up-to-date traffic impacts please visit www.TripCheck.com.​ ​

Schedule

Construction started in fall 2023 and continues through summer 2025. The project schedule is subject to change due to weather or unforeseen site conditions. ​
