Portland Streetcar Expansion Begins Soon...

02/06/2010



The Portland Streetcar Loop Project in Portland, Oregon, will be a 3.3-mile extension of the existing and highly-successful Portland Streetcar Project, which was constructed using all local funds. The Portland Streetcar Loop Project will extend streetcar tracks, stations, and service from the Pearl District in NW Portland, across the existing Broadway Bridge, serving the eastern half of the Portland Central City.

The Portland Streetcar Loop Project’s streetcars will serve 28 new streetcar stops. Later, as a separate project, the Loop will be completed via a new bridge at the south end, allowing continuous connections around the entire Loop.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: During the months of July 2010 through October 2010, there will be some street/bridge closures. This will include the Broadway Bridge (closed July/August 2010), Lovejoy Street, and Northrup Street. Be sure to use alternative routes to access the Pearl District via the Steel Bridge, Burnside, I-405, or side streets.

The construction schedule is as follows: Sewer Work Feb 22 - May 2, Water Work May 3 -July 2, Track Construction Sept 6 - Oct 31, A 2-Week Streetcar Closure Will Occur Sept 13-26, Broadway Bridge Closure July 5 - Sept 5.(Construction subject to change)
