(PORTLAND, Ore.) – The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that a westbound lane closure will be necessary on Northeast Killingsworth Street between Northeast Rodney Avenue and Northeast Cleveland Avenue beginning Monday, November 5, through Wednesday, November 14, all hours and all days.
