Minor Work Ongoing

Work crews are finishing minor road repairs and erosion control. Upon completion, the site will be cleaned and protective tree fencing will be removed.

Anyone traveling through this area may experience delays and should use caution.

Repair work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change. This advisory will be updated if there are significant changes.

A Complicated Repair

Crews responded quickly to a landslide on NW Cornell Road caused by heavy rains on March 13, closing the shoulder of the road to traffic while repairs began. However, work was complicated by the formation of a sinkhole near the slide, requiring closure of the westbound lane for repairs. On March 16, the entire area was closed to traffic after crews discovered that stormwater erosion was undermining soil beneath the roadway itself. At that point, NW Cornell Road was closed to all travel between NW Thompson Road and NW Skyline Boulevard.

We appreciate the public's patience as crews complete this emergency repair work.
