Humboldt Sewer Repair Project Update

DEVELOPMENTS OF NOTE

Crews have returned to North Maryland Avenue to continue open trench sewer pipe construction between North Simpson and Jarrett streets.

Other crews will focus on installing cleanouts, spot repairs, lateral sewer pipe construction, and manhole work throughout the project area. To view a current map of anticipated work locations, go to www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/HumboldtSchedule.
Some streets will be closed to through traffic during construction hours from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. but local access will be maintained. Please drive or bike with caution near work zones in your neighborhood and follow the directions of flaggers if present.
