Clackamas County shifts temporary closure of SE Johnson for sewer main installation
Clackamas County has completed work and ended the temporary closure of SE Johnson Road between SE Thiessen Road and Highway 224, and is temporarily closing a different section of Johnson Road, between SE Thiessen and Clackamas Road, from March 29 through April 23.
The 24-hour-a-day closure is needed in order for Clackamas County Water Environment Services (WES) on behalf of Clackamas County Service District No. 1 (CCSD #1) to install a sewer force main pipeline, known as Intertie 2.
The pipeline project, together with maintenance at the Kellogg Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Milwaukie and expansion of the Tri-City Water Pollution Control Plant in Oregon City, will allow the transfer of wastewater flow from CCSD #1 to the Tri-City plant. This will help relieve operating issues at the Kellogg Creek Plant and mitigate spills into the Willamette River.
Detour routes and signs are posted. The work zone is open to emergency vehicles, school buses, garbage vehicles, postal vehicles and any local businesses.
