Ready, set, traffic switch!

From ODOT-

Tonight we will switch half of Interstate 5 traffic to the new southbound Willamette River Bridge!



Southbound freeway drivers may experience brief delays as crews move concrete barriers and safety barrels to guide traffic onto the new bridge.



To minimize the traffic impacts, workers will do the lane shifts during nighttime hours.



Northbound traffic will be shifted to share the new bridge later in October. Then we’ll focus on removing the temporary bridge and building a new northbound span.



Thanks for your patience with the traffic changes!
