Section of Northeast Center Street to close over weekend

A section of Northeast Center Street will close Dec. 10 and 11 as crews install a new sewer line for the Marion County Health and Human Services Department complex.

The closure will be between Northeast Park and Vineyard Avenues, according to the city.

Detours will be east of the Oregon State Hospital complex on Northeast Center Street, from Northeast Park Avenue to Northeast D Street. 

After the sewer line is installed, there will be routine lane closures during business hours as crews repave the street surface. 

The city’s online road conditions map will update with information about the road closure.
