Third Street rail crossing to close Friday

The rail crossing lying between Galloway and Irvine on Third Street will be closed from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28.

While the crossing is closed, traffic will be rerouted via Fifth and Second Streets. 

The crossing is closing so crews from Portland & Western Railroad can repair a broken rail. The work will involve replacing the rail and laying new asphalt.

Customers will still be able to access businesses near the crossing. For more information, contact the city engineering department at 503-434-7312.
