Reminder: the Portland Aerial Tram that travels from the Southwest Waterfront to OHSU is currently closed for essential maintenance. The tram remains closed through Monday, Feb. 19 - resuming trips 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20.

Riders can take a shuttle during the tram's normal operating hours. Shuttles will board one block south of the Waterfront Tram Terminal at Southwest Whitaker Street. The OHSU pickup location is Kohler Pavilion at 808 Southwest Campus Drive. Factor in additional travel time for shuttles as the trip is expected to take 30 minutes. A typical tram ride only takes four minutes.

Crews have closed the right northbound lane of OR 99E just south of the Oregon City tunnel for tree removal. The project will close the right northbound lane 9 a.m.-3 p.m. daily through the week near Railroad Avenue (milepost 12.6-13.4) as crews remove trees and vegetation from the slope that present a hazard. The project may require periodic full closures of all lanes to remove trees. These closures would last no more than 20 minutes.

Expect delays in the area. Access for pedestrians will be available through the work zones. Look for directional signs.
