After 140 reported crashes, including six seriously injured people, the Portland Bureau of Transportation has reduced the speed limit on a two-mile stretch of Marine Drive, between Interstate 5 and Northeast 33rd Drive. The posted speed limited dipped from 40 mph to 35 mph as of Tuesday.

According to a recent release, the 140 reported crashes were from a five-year period 2012-2016 (the most recent stats available). PBOT, in February, installed speed safety camera on eastbound Marine Drive to help slow down traffic and increase safety. The cameras record speeding drivers and warnings will be handed out for the next two weeks. The PBOT release also stated that citations will resume Oct. 10.

Crews will began to move in segments of a tower crane as part of the Washington Park Reservoir Improvement Project on Monday. Southwest Sacajawea Boulevard between Southwest Park Place and Sherwood Boulevard will be closed to all modes of traffic (including hikers and pedestrians) all hours and days through Friday, Sept. 28.

The Portland Water Bureau said in a release last week that it will take more than a dozen deliveries of segments of the crane before the erection can begin on the site near the reservoir. Residents and visitors should expect traffic delays this week, watch for detour signs and choose alternate routes if possible.
