Beaverton Traffic: Closure Coming to Hocken Avenue

Residents of Hocken Avenue should be prepared: traffic disruption is coming.

The City of Beaverton announced Tuesday that Hocken Avenue between Tualatin Valley Highway and Farmington Road will be closed for one month starting April 13.

It's so that the city can finish a series of road improvements.

During that time, traffic will be detoured to Murray Boulevard or 142nd Avenue.

According to the City:

Both east and westbound traffic, including pedestrians, on Farmington Road between Murray and Hocken will be shifted to the south side of Farmington to begin widening work on the north side of the road. TriMet’s Bus #52 will continue to service existing stops along Farmington Road. Businesses within the work zone will remain open. Travelers should expect delays or use alternate routes such as Tualatin Valley Highway/Canyon Road or Allen Boulevard.

Left turns on Farmington Road continue to be restricted throughout the work zone; violators will be cited by local law enforcement.
