This project involves making repairs to the pedestrian bridge located on South Shore Boulevard over the Blue Heron canal, near the intersection of Blue Heron Road and South Shore Boulevard. Construction of the bridge repairs is expected to start the week of April 20, 2026 and take about two months to complete.
Work hours are expected to be from 9 am to 3 pm, Monday to Friday. The pedestrian bridge will be temporarily closed during construction hours. Lane closures will be in place each day and flaggers will direct traffic. Pedestrians and bikes will be re-routed into the closed lane during work hours. The pedestrian bridge is expected to be back open after work hours. Please plan for extra travel time, expect delays, or find alternate routes.
The City is replacing the McVey Pump Station, located at the corner of McVey Avenue and Oak Street. The pump station has had a series of pump failures as a result of electrical and mechanical issues.

In September 2025, City Council approved an ordinance to lower the speed limit on local residential streets and some neighborhood collectors in Lake Oswego from 25 miles per hour (mph) to 20 mph.
Public Works crews are rolling out the Go sLOw speed reduction program, moving clockwise one neighborhood at a time. Phase 1 includes replacing existing 25 MPH signs and was completed in late 2025. Phase 2 adds new posts and additional signs and is underway through summer 2026.
New speed limits take effect as soon as the signs change.
Lake Oswego, with Portland’s support, has been using a phased project approach to replace the aging Tryon Creek plant with an environmentally sustainable wastewater treatment facility, at a good value to the community. The first phase of the project is now complete, which included developing facility designs, preliminary permitting, and proposed pricing for the Wastewater Treatment Facility Project.
For the second phase of the project, Lake Oswego will explore a competitive procurement method using public financing, to complete the design, construct the facility, and operate and maintain the facility under a long-term contract.
