SE Division Street near Eastman Parkway in Gresham will close to traffic while maintenance is underway on the MAX Blue Line tracks, Saturday and Sunday, September 24-25.

During the closure, new rubber insulation will be installed around the rail to eliminate stray current, which is now reaching a nearby water main.

During the service disruption, shuttle buses will serve the last four Gresham MAX stations between Rockwood/E 188th Ave Transit Center and Cleveland Ave Station.

SE Division closed to traffic

Vehicular traffic on SE Division will be detoured around the MAX crossing. Eastbound traffic will be diverted north and south on Eastman Parkway. Westbound traffic will be diverted onto Kelly and Main.

SE Division will reopen and MAX service will resume on Monday, Sept. 26.
