COMING SOON

SE MAX

GREEN

The Green Line is currently under construction, is should open in 2009.

 It will start at Clackamas Town Center, head north along I-205. Part of its Right-of-way was reserved for a future Busway that was never built (including a tunnel under I205). It joins with the Blue & Red Lines at Gateway TC. IT then follows the Blue/Red line to Rose Quarter.

After Rose Quarter, the Yellow line joins in to cross the Steel Bridge. On the west, the Green & Yellow lines will split off to head to Union Station, then turn south onto the Transit Mall on 5th & 6th Avenues. Both lines will terminate at PSU on the south edge of downtown.

Below are construction photos of the line
