Paving and Detours Near NE 47th & Halsey 4/27-4/30/26

With warmer weather returning, crews are scheduling intersection paving work on NE Halsey. We know this construction can be frustrating, and we really appreciate your patience as we make these needed improvements to keep our streets in good condition.

We're phasing the work to minimize impacts by paving one side at a time and using directional closures instead of fully closing the road. Crews may work between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Schedule

• Monday, April 27 - Thursday, April 30: South side of NE Halsey and 47^th Ave construction
