Crews are working on signals and switches in the existing trackway, and building a new walkway and break facility for MAX operators.
Because much of the construction takes place in the trackway, certain activities are being performed at night, when there is little train traffic.
About one-third of the Park & Ride lot is closing for construction staging.
The following activities are expected to start the week of September 27.
Crews are building a new track crossing, Red Line station platform, multi-use path and two new bridges:
Because bridge construction affects highway traffic, some work takes place at night, there will be some night and weekend closures of I-84. Bridge construction also includes daytime pile driving and some detours for people walking and rolling.
Two public areas are closed for construction staging:
Beginning in early September and continuing through early 2024:
Beginning in early September and continuing through mid-October, crews will be working at night along northbound I-205 north of the Halsey overpass, with one northbound travel lane closed at night only, while crews build an access point for construction vehicles.
The south end of the park is closed through late 2024.
Crews are constructing a new station platform at PDX and new track adjacent to the existing track, along with a new multi-use path between the MAX station and NE 82nd Way.
Construction is expected to start in early 2022.
