Our street poles are getting a makeover!

The Mid-County Lighting District provides street lighting throughout Troutdale, including the decorative light poles in Downtown Troutdale. To extend the life of the poles and keep them well maintained, the District will begin repainting the decorative street poles on Thursday, September 17, at 9:00 a.m.

The project is expected to take 2–4 days, depending on weather and project conditions. The work is funded by the Mid-County Lighting District.

During the work:

• Downtown businesses will remain open and accessible.
• Only some parking spaces will be temporarily restricted; parking will not be closed throughout downtown.
• Spaces immediately adjacent to the poles must remain clear while crews prepare and paint.
• Please do not park in spaces marked for temporary closure. Crews may move throughout downtown as work progresses.
• Off-street parking lots in downtown will not be impacted.

Thank you for your patience as we keep our historic downtown looking its best!

The 5-week closure of southbound I-5 at Portland’s Rose Quarter is now a week away.

The closure will be in effect 24/7 for up to five weeks starting September 11 and could cause ripple effects on roads and highways throughout the region.

While Troutdale won’t be directly affected by the closure, expect possible ripple effects on other roads and highways throughout the metro area.

The Good news for drivers coming from the east: I-5 northbound will remain open, and the I-84 westbound connections to both I-5 northbound and southbound will remain open.

If you’re heading east on I-84 over Labor Day weekend, plan for extra travel time. Construction on the new McCord Creek Bridge on I-84 continues to cause delays between Ainsworth State Park and Bonneville Dam.

ICYMI: Oxbow Regional Park is closing on Tuesday, Sept. 8 for 4 – 5 months while crews replace the park's aging water system.

You can sign up to receive construction updates at https://www.oregonmetro.gov/places/oxbow-regional-park

Get your Oxbow fix before Labor Day. As a reminder, Oxbow Regional Park will be temporarily closed starting Sept. 8 for park improvements.

We're replacing the park's water lines so you can have more reliable access to drinking water at the park. Because this project includes heavy machinery and extensive digging on the park's only road, the entire park—including the boat launch and equestrian trail—will be closed. This also means that Salmon Homecoming at Oxbow is canceled this year. If all goes as planned, the park will reopen in January 2027.

The County’s draft recommendation is to build a new, seismically resilient bridge next to the existing bridge, with the current bridge potentially staying open for people walking and biking.
