Wilsonville Road Closure Coming This Weekend

If you drive in Wilsonville, the city wants you to be aware that this weekend Wilsonville Road will be closed. It's to allow work on the railroad crossing west of I-5.

The closure will start at 8:00 Friday night and continue through 6:00 Monday.

The city has set up a detour - Barber Street accessed of off Wilsonville Road from either Boones Ferry Road or Kinsman Road. The weekend-long closure includes the bike lanes and sidewalks along this section of Wilsonville Road as well.

In addition, intermittent single-lane closures are needed prior to and throughout the project which is scheduled to be complete by Friday, August 26. Single-lane road closures are planned for non-peak travel times to minimize potential congestion.

Throughout the repair project the City encourages travelers who would normally use this section of Wilsonville Road to instead take alternate routes, such as Barber Street or Boeckman Road, to avoid unnecessary delays and congestion.

The repairs are being undertaken in partnership with the Portland & Western Railroad (PNWR) Co., a local short-line freight railroad division of the national Genesee & Wyoming, Inc, railroad company.
