Major Portland Street Closures Planned for Hazelwood District Infrastructure Work

A critical infrastructure project is set to disrupt travel in Portland's Hazelwood neighborhood, as officials announce a full closure of a key stretch of Stark Street for the foreseeable future.

The closure impacts traffic between 122nd and 130th Avenues, a pivotal corridor for local commuters and freight movement. Crews are scheduled to begin the shut-down immediately to facilitate major underground utility repairs and roadway renovations.

Detours and Travel Impacts

Motorists planning to travel through the affected section are being routed via alternative paths.

• Westbound traffic will be detoured north to Burnside Street or south to Division Street.


• Eastbound drivers should plan to use similar diverting routes leading around the closure zone.


• Local access will be maintained for residents living within the barricaded sections, though significant delays are expected.

Portland transportation officials encourage the use of public transit, particularly TriMet bus lines that navigate the corridor, with passengers asked to check for schedule modifications in real-time before departure.

Purpose of the Project
