Springwater Trail Repaving Project

DETOUR INFORMATION

Purple Route - 128th Ave to Gresham

This segment will be closed starting August 30. Paving and bollard installation to occur over the next two weeks.

• Purple Detour - Exit trail at SE 128 Ave. Follow detour north to Holgate Blvd, east to SE 130, north to Cora, east to SE 132, north to Bush, east to SE 148, north to Powell Blvd, east to Naegeli, south to Powell Butte Parkway, south to Circle Ave, east to rejoin trail at SE 174 & Jenne.

Please use caution on the open segments of the trail while final construction activities are underway.

Repaving of eight miles of the Springwater Corridor is anticipated to begin this April and likely continue through August. The work will require periodic closures of the trail between SE 28 Ave, just east of the Three Bridges section, to SE 174 Ave and Jenne Rd near the border with the City of Gresham.

The repaving will involve laying a 2" porous asphalt overlay over the existing trail, as well as other improvements, including the replacement of wood and metal bollards in a new concrete band, replacement of trail and bollard signage, and new pavement markings, from the existing Union Pacific Railroad Bridge to the east city border.

During construction, sections of the Springwater Corridor Trail will temporarily close to pedestrians, bicyclists, and other users. Detours around the closed areas will be established in advance of any closures. The contractor will work with PP&R and the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) on determining closures and detours.

PP&R will provide the public, trail users, and those who live along the detour routes with timely information on how and when they will be impacted by the repaving. Because the locations of closings may change from week to week during the project, check here for closure information. Beginning April 1, trail users can follow the project at Twitter/springwaternews, where closure updates will be tweeted as soon as they become available.

The repaving is funded through a $1.8 million grant from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
