Hall Boulevard over OR 217 closing for 9 months

Hall Boulevard over OR 217 is closing for about nine months starting 6 a.m. Monday, March 4, as part of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) OR 217 Auxiliary Lanes Project.

The intersection of Pfaffle Street and Hall Boulevard, near OR 99W, will also close. All vehicle traffic should use the signed detour. People walking and bicycling can cross OR 217 using a temporary pedestrian bridge.

OR 217 will be closed in both directions, between OR 99W and Greenburg Road, from 11 p.m. March 9 to 8 a.m. March 10 and 9 p.m. March 15 to 5 a.m. March 18.
