Officials plan for I-84 W closure this weekend for maintenance, graffitti removal
PORTLAND, Ore. () — If you plan on taking Interstate 84 by car or by train this weekend, you might have to change course as the westbound lanes from Interstate-205 and I-5 are set to close for a number of projects. Starting at midnight Saturday until 4 p.m. Sunday, all westbound lanes will be closed for maintenance, everything from graffiti removal to regular street maintenance. ICE arrests another asylum-seeker in Portland Several agencies, including the Oregon Department of Transportation, TriMet, the Portland Bureau of Transportation and the City of Portland will be out along the highway. David House with the Oregon Department of Transportation said this closure may cause a headache, but it's necessary. 'This is also an opportunity for ODOT crews to get to some areas that are difficult to reach safely unless you close the highway so we'll be out there too doing some various maintenance,' House said. A big part of last year's project was graffiti removal, you might remember the endless sight of tags along the walls of the highway. 'We think it's been very successful and it's helped reduce what many travelers considered an eyesore,' House said. KOIN 6 News also caught up with Robert Barrie, owner of Portland Graffiti Removal. He said they'll have crews along the highway taking care of what they can. He also said this year's job isn't nearly as hefty as the . 'When it gets really bad with graffiti, everybody notices,' Barrie said. 'When they have these types of closures, we can jump into those sections without having to worry about traffic and so forth.' Motorcyclist dies after crashing into pickup TriMet is also working on a project along I-84 that will impact MAX travelers. They will be shutting off power at their NE 82nd Avenue MAX line, to put in a new set of stairs to the temporary platform, which is a part of the MAX Improvement Project. ODOT officials said while there is the potential for work to wrap up early, travelers should expect delays until 4 p.m. Sunday. They said to check TripCheck for the latest on delays and closures.
