It’s been two years since we dug golden shovels into the ground to commemorate the start of construction for this momentous project, and we are now ready to celebrate a huge milestone — the opening of the new southbound Interstate 5 bridge.
Please join us in celebration at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, at the Willamette River Bridge.
U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, local elected officials and other distinguished guests will be there. After a brief ceremony, you’ll have the opportunity to tour the bridge — including a walk on the new bridge deck — before it opens to traffic in late August.
Our construction staff will conduct the tours. To join a tour, you will need to wear closed-toe shoes and plan on walking for about one hour.
The ceremony is on the work bridge located under the new bridge. Parking is available at the University of Oregon Motor Pool at 3233 Franklin Blvd. (see map below). Please allow 20 minutes to walk to the ceremony by following the signs. A courtesy shuttle will be available upon request at the lot.
