The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will shut down most scheduled highway closures in the Portland area over the Memorial Day weekend as travelers hit the road for the first of the summer holiday weekends.

Regularly scheduled project work will stop in the Portland area at noon Friday and won’t start up again until no earlier than 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. We will respond as needed, of course, to emergencies.

In addition, some rockfall work will cause delays on Saturday along OR 224, which re-opened May 1 after the Labor Day 2020 wildfires. All other recovery work in the Clackamas River Corridor will be shut down through the Memorial Day weekend.

The U.S. Forest Service Hole in the Wall and Moore Creek boat access day sites and Big Eddy day use sites are open but all other Forest Service recreation facilities in the corridor remain closed including Roads 46 and 57.

Expect a busy holiday weekend on Oregon roads. AAA Oregon predicts that 530,000 Oregonians will travel over the Memorial Day weekend, Thursday, May 26 through Monday, May 30, an increase over the more hesitant pandemic travel patterns of 2021.
