NE 33rd traffic closure

Now through the fall – partial 33rd closure:

NE 33rd Drive just north of NE Columbia Boulevard will be closed all days/hours to cars, bikes and pedestrians for up to five months.  This culvert replacement at Buffalo Slough will improve water flow and fish habitat.  The suggested detour is NE 21st Avenue via Argyle Street and Riverside Way.  For more info, call Linc Mann at 503-823-5328
