Traffic in project area will return to normal this summer

From ODOT-



We’re excited to announce the much-anticipated new northbound Whilamut Passage Bridge will open to traffic this summer.





Before traffic returns to normal, the construction team is finishing the bridge deck and installing permanent highway signs. They also completed roadwork on Franklin Boulevard and have returned traffic to a four-lane configuration.



Crews will also reopen the northbound freeway off-ramp to Franklin Boulevard at exit 192 this summer.



Thank you for your patience with traffic switches during bridge construction. Please continue to drive safely the next few months as the last few shifts are made to return traffic routes to normal. We’re thrilled to wrap up the project and get motorists going where they need to go on the new, graceful Whilamut Passage Bridge.

Crews returned Franklin Boulevard to its original four-lane configuration this week.
