OR 217 to see weekend closures for paving throughout June
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — OR 217 is set to close all weekend while crews work to pave the long stretch of road from Beaverton to Tigard.
According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, starting Friday night at 9 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m., crews will be working on OR 217 between Canyon Road and 99W.
The closure is part of the final steps of the OR 217 Auxiliary Lanes project, which has been underway since 2021.
Drivers are asked to avoid the area, using Highway 26, Interstate 405 and Interstate 5 as a detour.
This is the first of several closures planned over the next month for paving. ODOT said the other tentative dates are June 6, June 20 and June 27.
ODOT also said that they won't be closing both directions of 217 during the same weekend.
During the closure, live updates can be found on TripCheck.
The project is expected to finish by the end of 2025.
