The Oregon Department of Transportation will close exits at two of Beltline Highway’s interchanges for overnight construction for much of the month starting Sept 8.
ODOT is repaving all eight ramps connecting Beltline Highway to Coburg and River roads. Work is scheduled to conclude Sept. 22. Beltline Highway will remain open to through traffic during construction but individual ramps will close intermittently over that time.
Ramp closures will occur on weeknights between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
