Wet streets and bus stops greet commuters Tuesday morning. By the afternoon rain will be steady and possibly cause more of an issue.

SYLVAN 7:37 a.m.; Crash blocks the middle and right lanes (for now) of U.S. 26 eastbound just prior to the Sylvan overpass. Expect long delays coming up from OR 217.

Travelers through the Gorge on Interstate 84 should expect period delays as crews begin to remove construction material and lane restrictions in the Shellrock Mountain area (milepost 52).

The area has been the scene of diverted, one-lane traffic since the Eagle Creek fire late in the summer. Workers have been clearing hazard trees and other fire debris. Contractors hope to have all lanes clear and open for travel by Friday, Dec. 1.

In the meantime, rolling slowdowns will be in place causing short traffic disruptions. Each slowdown could generate 20 minute delays for travelers. Most slowdowns will happen between 9 a.m.-2 p.m. daily through Friday.

There will still be a partial right lane closure eastbound at milepost 53 for construction of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail segment near Lindsey Creek. That closure should lift on Dec. 18.

PBOT will hold an open house to answer questions from the community about the Southwest Capitol Highway project. The design open house is 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29, at the Multnomah Arts Center, 7688 S.W. Capitol Highway. See preliminary designs for street and stormwater improvements, as well as information on funding. Details: www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/capitolhwy
