TRANSPORTATION & PULIC SERVICES:
Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Region 1 Project Update
U.S. 30 Paving Project, NW NcNamee Road to Milepost 17.93
Nighttime Lane and Intersection Closures Start on Friday
Weather permitting, Cornelius Pass Road will be closed at U.S. 30 and U.S. 30 will be down to one lane in each direction the night of Monday, June 17 for paving.
The closure will begin at 8 p.m. on Monday night, with Cornelius Pass Road closed to all traffic to and from U.S. 30. The intersection will re-open by 4 a.m. Tuesday morning. Motorists can detour around the closure using Newberry and Logie Trail roads to Skyline Boulevard. One lane will remain open in in each direction on U.S. 30 during the closure of the Cornelius Pass Road intersection.
This closure is necessary so an ODOT contractor can grind, seal and pave the bridge over McCarty Creek, just east of the Cornelius Pass Road
intersection. This work is part of a paving project that began earlier this summer between McNamee Road in Multnomah County and milepost 17.93, just east of the Columbia County line.
In addition, U.S. 30 will be reduced to one lane in each direction near Cornelius Pass Road starting at 7 p.m. the nights of Friday, June 14 and
Sunday, June 16, with all lanes open by 5:30 a.m. the following morning. The traffic signal at the Cornelius Pass Road intersection will be shut off
on both nights and traffic will be controlled by flaggers. Left turns from westbound U.S. 30 onto Cornelius Pass Road and any adjacent driveways will also be restricted.
This work is weather dependent and will be rescheduled if it rains on any of these nights.
After this paving work is complete, the contractor will clean up the new asphalt (removing any asphalt "blobs") throughout the project area and then apply permanent lane striping. If all goes well, the paving project should be substantially complete within a few weeks.

Summer Nanny/Babysitter
Hello! My name is Lena. I am graduating from Lincoln High School this week and am looking for summer employment. If anyone in the area needs a babysitter or nanny now that the kids are out of school for the season, I'd be happy to help. I have worked with kids ages 2-10 for five years as a camp counselor, and have some babysitting experience as well. If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to call me or leave a message at 503-285-4975. Thank you!
