All lanes of Oregon 217 between Greenburg Road and Oregon 99W will be closed between 11 p.m. Thursday and 5 a.m. Friday. In addition to the ramps in that section of the roadway, southbound on-ramps at Hall Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road, as well as the northbound on-ramp at 72nd Avenue, will also be closed.
Motorists traveling late at night Thursday and into the early morning Friday should expect delays due to construction.
During the closure, Oregon Department of Transportation crews will remove a structure that holds up signs over the roadway as part of the ongoing project to add lane miles that directly connect on-ramps to off-ramps between Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and Oregon 99W.
The project is scheduled to run through 2025, spokesperson Don Hamilton said in a statement. Lane closures are planned through the remainder of the project.
This work is somewhat weather dependent and may be halted if there are safety issues.
