Get ready for yet another construction project that will impact biking routes.
Starting two weeks from now, on September 12th, the Portland Water Bureau will begin their Reservoir Improvements Project in Washington Park. The construction of a new 12.4 million gallon reservoir and other upgrades to two existing reservoirs will last for 12 to 18 months.

The most notable closure will be to SW Sherwood and SW Sacajawea roads — both of which are part of the main cycling route through Washington Park.
Here’s the key information:
