TRAFFIC ALERT: Buxton Road in Troutdale is now open. Multnomah County Road Maintenance closed the road Thursday morning, due to a combination of factors that would make the road hazardous: the impending storm, steep grade of the road and active construction. Crews will continue to monitor the road overnight. If conditions change that reduce visibility in the construction zone, the County will reclose the road to keep everyone safe.
