Steve's PlaceMore roadwork by PBOT for 82nd Avenue in Portland. From an email:
(May 5, 2026) - The Portland Bureau of Transportation's (PBOT) safety and maintenance upgrade of 82nd Avenue continues, with months of work to provide new, smooth pavement and replace failing sections of roadway starting on Monday, May 18, and continuing on weekdays through the end of July.
This is the second summer of paving significant stretches of the corridor, after crews repaved and repaired roughly 1.4 centerline miles of 82nd Avenue in 2025.
The first section of paving will take place on SE 82nd Avenue between SE Clinton and Brooklyn streets. Contractors will then pave additional segments of the corridor between SE Brooklyn and Bush streets; NE Thomson to Hancock; and lastly SE Schiller Street and SE Foster Road.
The existing pavement on NE/SE 82nd Avenue is severely deteriorated in these sections, with cracking and water infiltration that extends below the surface of the roadway.
Full details, updates available from PBOT
Paving this summer will begin in SE Portland and move to different sections, roughly a month at a time. From week to week, work schedules are weather dependent, but hours are expected to generally stay between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
