OR 47 (Quince Street) will be closed for less than 24 hours starting at 8:30 a.m. on Friday so crews can repair the railroad crossing just north of OR 8 and in front of the McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove.  The road will be closed until 6 a.m. on Saturday.  During the closure, the local detour for both southbound and northbound traffic will be 24th Avenue, Yew Street and OR 8.  Signage will guide travelers through the detour.

The work includes removing the tracks and railroad ties, rebuilding the subgrade and then repaving after the tracks are repaired.  The project is a cooperative effort between ODOT, Washington County and the Portland and Western Railroad.
