PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) – Starting Monday, July 7, drivers can
expect some road closures as construction work begins to
restore the Thompson Elk statue.

Road closures will be on SW Main Street between SW 3rd and
SW 4th Avenues and is expected to last through the winter of
2025, according to the Portland Water Bureau.

Westbound traffic from the Hawthorne Bridge will follow traffic
signs and flaggers around the closure area. Detour routes will

stonework in July 2020, after fires set in its base posed a risk
of toppling the structure.
