Expect delays on Franklin Boulevard under I-5 Nov. 4 and 7

From ODOT-Here's a quick traffic update for Franklin Boulevard as our contractor removes the Interstate 5 detour bridge over the Willamette River that carried traffic until last month.

On Friday, Nov. 4 and Monday, Nov. 7, we'll remove the portion of the temporary detour bridge that passes over Franklin Boulevard. This will cause traffic delays on Franklin Boulevard for up to 20 minutes between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. both days.

There will be no traffic delays on Franklin Boulevard on Saturday and Sunday.

Flaggers will occasionally stop traffic to keep motorists out of harm's way as crews remove and place bridge beams onto trucks standing by to haul them away. The beams will be stored for use in future bridge construction.

We'll work to minimize the traffic stops and we appreciate your patience!
