The morning commute will be wet with showers on-and-off through about 9 a.m. The afternoon ride should be drier. More rain is forecast for Wednesday.

An ODOT spokesperson said Interstate 84 westbound will have intermittent, short closures throughout Tuesday to clean up after a crash that happened Monday evening involving a semi that left the roadway. Expect slowing at milepost 23 (just east of Corbett) as crews work through the morning to remove the semi from along the shores of the Columbia River.

The City of Wilsonville finished the new Kinsman Road extension that connects Southwest Barber Street to Boeckman Road four months ahead of schedule. The road should be open for public travel beginning this week. In addition to providing another routing connection for travelers, construction of the roadway incorporated water- and sewer-installation infrastructure projects that resulted in reduced public disruption and costs. 

The half-mile road construction project was originally scheduled for completion in June 2018. The new section connects two major arterials and improves the city street-grid providing increased connectivity for both freight and residential traffic.

A water main replacement project closes South Bradley Road in Oregon City. The closure is from South Holcombe Boulevard to Taylor Terrace Road. The detour is in place 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays through May 15. Details here.
