TriMet has warned you, we've warned you, operators have made announcements - there's just no excuse for not being prepared for big MAX commuting delays kicking off Monday morning. And we've got three weeks of this to go. See the link for tips on how to get around the delays and other commuting options.

May Day protest marches are scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday in and around downtown Portland. Marchers will begin to gather and listen to speakers about noon in Shemanski Park, Southwest Main Street and Park Avenue (behind the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall). Expect downtown bus routes and streets to be delayed with as many as 2000 protestors "interested in attending" according to a Facebook page.

Southbound Interstate 5 closes for four nights beginning 9 p.m. Monday, May 1 for repairs to an elevated portion of the freeway near the Moda Center.

This work is not part of the weekend-long construction project that will close the freeway northbound May 5-8. Instead, it's work being done on an unmarked elevated portion that is part of of the I-5 main line called Elliot Street Bridge.

The closure will be 9 p.m.-5 a.m. nightly beginning May 1 from Interstate 405 to the Northeast Wheeler Street on ramp.
