Yay, PBOT! Their email:

(April 27, 2026) The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) advises the traveling public that lane closures will be required for a city contractor to build safety improvements starting today at NE 122nd Avenue and NE Halsey Street.

The intersection was ranked the fourth most dangerous in Portland, with 79 crashes, including one traffic death and 61 injuries in four years ending 2023. Targeting safety investments on the most dangerous streets in Portland is a key part of Vision Zero, the citywide goal of reducing and eventually eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries.

Starting today, the contractor's crews will reconstruct ADA curb ramps to improve access for pedestrians and people who depend on mobility devices, complete stormwater upgrades to prevent street flooding, and make traffic signal adjustments to improve safety.

Work could take up to three months and will occur during daytime hours. Travelers should expect delays, lane closures, and noise.

Crews expect to work from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The traveling public is advised to expect delays, travel cautiously, observe all closures and directions by flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible. Local access to residences and businesses will remain available. For months, PBOT staff have been notifying area businesses and residents of this and other work coming soon.

This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.
