One-way closure on SE Newport Way extended The one-way detour on Southeast Newport Way between 150th Avenue Southeast and 152nd Avenue Southeast was recently rescheduled to end in May.

As in past several weeks, the detour directs eastbound drivers to Southeast Newport Way, while westbound drivers can continue using the detour on the map below. The pri- mary detour option has drivers taking a left onto 152nd Avenue Southeast and driving west to 148th Place South- east. The secondary detour has drivers turning right onto Southeast 38th Street and 153rd Avenue Southeast. Metro busses and school busses will be allowed to travel in both the eastbound and westbound directions. Work hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
