Highway 213 Jughandle Project
DETOUR INFORMATION

Travel on Highway 213

All travel lanes on Hwy 213 are expected to remain open every weekday during construction from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM, with the exception of two weekdays in a 104-hour period.

PLAN A DIFFERENT ROUTE


Motorists should expect long traffic delays in and around Oregon City starting on the evening of Thursday, March 22nd and continuing through the evening of Monday, March 26th.
Travel on Hwy 213,
I‐205, and Hwy 99E/McLoughlin Boulevard will be affected.

Steer clear of this area
to prevent a car-tastrophe!


A 4-day/5-night (104-hour) full closure will be in effect on
Hwy 213 between the I-205 northbound on/off ramps and
the Washington Street/Clackamas River Drive intersection
to install a new bridge. The full closure is scheduled to
begin at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 22, 2012 and
end by 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 27,  2012. A
signed detour route, shown below, will be in place during
the temporary full closure.

A winter weather event could force the contractor to
reschedule the bridge installation work. If this occurs and
the temporary highway closure needs to be rescheduled,
the media will be alerted and updates will be posted here.
