The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) reports that they will be replacing two outdated weigh-in-motion scales on I-5 this month with new technology. These scales are used to monitor the weight of semi trucks without causing drivers to pull off of the highway and stop at a designated scale.
These scales are metal plates installed across two lanes of I-5 with an overhead sensor. To remove and replace the sensors, ODOT will need to dig out the road across the two lanes.
ODOT is replacing the sensors at:
- Northbound I-5 near milepost 271.
- Southbound I-5 near milepost 276.
I-5 traffic can expect
- Lane closures nightly, Sunday through Thursday, 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
- Traffic shifted into the far left lane. Please use caution and be patient when approaching the work zone. All traffic is using one travel lane.
- Delays.
- Crews may be working on northbound and southbound I-5 at the same time.
- Construction noise.
