Temporary Closure of South Portland Avenue Between SW 54^th and SW 74^th Streets

 Beginning Monday, June 6, South Portland Avenue between SW 54^th and SW 74^th streets will be temporarily closed to through traffic.  Daily commuters should avoid the area and use one of the alternate routes listed below.  During the closure, customers and employees of Field Aerospace and Atlantic Aviation, both located on South Portland Avenue, will only have access to the facilities from SW 74^th Street.

 The temporary closure is necessary to complete water drainage infrastructure under South Portland Avenue. The infrastructure improvement is part of the South Portland Avenue relocation between SW 104^th St. and SW 54^th.

 It is anticipated that the road will be closed approximately one month, dependent on weather.

 Alternate routes:

• Southbound travelers should use I-44 and exit on SW 74^th Street.  From there, drivers can continue southbound on Portland Avenue or north to access Field Aerospace and Atlantic Aviation.
• Northbound travelers should use I-44 and exit on SW 59^th Street.  Field Aerospace and Atlantic Aviation will not be accessible from the north.
