Springville Road is closed to through-traffic from PCC's Rock Creek campus entrance to the entrance to the Court Yards at Springville apartments through Sept. 26.

Construction on Springville Road between Portland Community College’s Rock Creek campus and Court Yards at Springville is continuing, meaning the roadway is closed to through-traffic at those locations until Sept. 26.

Westbound vehicle traffic on Springville Road needs to detour to 185th Avenue and West Union Road, with eastbound traffic needing to exit at Bethany Boulevard and Kaiser Road to avoid the closure.

The project is part of Washington County Land Use & Transportation’s Springville Road Phase 4 project, which includes widening the street to three lanes (one lane in each direction and a center turn lane) between Joss Avenue and PCC. The completed project will have continuous buffered bike lanes, sidewalks and lighting on both sides of the street.

In addition, the street crosses two streams — one east of the PCC campus entrance and the other between Samuel Drive and Joss Avenue. Culverts at both stream crossings will be replaced to allow fish and small animals to pass below the street. Water quality and detention facilities will treat and slow down surface water runoff before it enters the streams.

Springville Road Phase 4 is the middle and final section of the urban street improvements for Springville Road between 185th Avenue and Kaiser Road. The bike lanes, sidewalks and lighting upgrades have significantly improved safety for all travelers.

Overall project completion is expected in December 2025.
