Portland police and ODOT announced last week the use of mobile photo radar devices in the construction zone on Interstate 84 (the Banfield) between Interstate 205 and Interstate 5 beginning Monday, July 17. Police plan to use radar for about 20 nights during the months-long project. Enforcement will be used in both directions (east and west bound) during construction, but not at the same time.

ODOT plans for occasional night time double lane closures on I-84 in both directions. Construction hours are 8 p.m.-5:30 a.m. Monday through Friday through September 30.

The work includes the installation, replacement and upgrading of highway signs, including adding RealTime signs to that stretch of freeway. Learn more about RealTime here: www.ODOTRealTime.org
