| Portland is home to a projected 220 miles of regional trails laced together, connecting people to each other and to the natural beauty of our city. We are working to make sure Portland residents and visitors have this environmentally-friendly mode of transportation. |
| Current trail closures |

|
Our trail system is made up of three kinds of trails:
- Regional Trails connect Portland to adjacent communities and to regionally significant features such as rivers and streams.
- Community Connectors link important land uses and areas of interest, often within a neighborhood, typically using street rights-of-way.
- Local Access Trails provide connections to local features, such as parks, community centers and schools. This includes most routes within park and natural area sites.

Springwater Corridor Closures
A temporary detour was created in December 2007 after high water from winter storms compromised the structural integrity of the bridge along the popular Springwater Trail. The detour from SE Jenne Road along SE Circle Avenue was selected because Circle Avenue is a low traffic local residential street and is at the same elevation as the Springwater Trail. It is the safest and most expedient route for all of the various trail users. Repair construction will take place July-November 2009. Detour map
Another section of the trail will be closed from SE Umatilla north to SE Spokane from Sept 2009-February 2010. The detour is from Umatilla north on SE 7th, then west on SE Spokane to connect back to the trail. Detour map Project Info
If you have questions about Springwater Trail closures/repairs, please contact Lynn Barlow at 503-823-4404. If you have questions or concerns about traffic safety along Circle Avenue during the temporary detour, please call PBOT at 503-823-SAFE (7233).
