Contractors are building a new sound wall along the east side of Interstate 5, north of the new Willamette River Bridge. You will start to see it rise later this summer.
Here are some quick facts about the new sound wall:
- The new sound wall will be 724 feet long and vary from 16 to 17 feet high.
- The highway-facing side of the sound wall is designed to match the rolling, pixilated representation of a sound wave seen on the sound wall south of the bridge, but without the stone columns.
- The area between the sound wall and the roadway will feature native landscape plantings in front of the wall.
- Noise impact specialists took sound measurements in the adjacent neighborhood and determined the length, height and design of the wall to achieve a level of noise reduction that meets ODOT standards.
- In our effort to be a good neighbor, we designed the sound wall to help reduce noise impacts from projected traffic increases on I-5 over the next 20 years.
If you have questions about the sound wall or any other aspect of the Willamette River Bridge project, please let me know by adding a comment below. I look forward to hearing from you.
