Oregon DOT Reports I-5 Travel Conditions

The Oregon Department of Transportation is reporting the following road conditions on Interstate 5:

I-5 MP 239 – Estimated delay under 20 minutes; Crash/Hazard
High water, use caution.

I-5 MP 242.13 – I-5 SB Exit 242 ramp to Talbot Rd (north of Albany) Effective March 6, 2016, the ramp from I-5 southbound Exit 242 to Talbot Rd will be intermittently closed between the hours of 9 PM & 5 AM. Estimated date of completion is March 18, 2016.

I-5 MP 250.15 to 251.76 – Estimated delay under 20 minutes; Watch for increased construction activity near the interchange, proceed with caution through the work zone and obey posted speed limits. The I-5 Kuebler Interchange Project will address the increasing congestion at the interchange by modifying the existing southbound off ramp, which will decrease the conflicts at Kuebler that have caused back-ups on I-5 southbound. The new ramp will meet modern standards and contain excess capacity. The project will also add a westbound to southbound I-5 loop on ramp and modify the eastbound to southbound I-5 on ramp.

I-5 MP 294.21 to 305.44 – No to Minimum Delay; Daytime shoulder closures in both directions on the Fremont Bridge. Periodic daytime shoulder closures on the Fremont Bridge in both north and southbound directions.

The Interstate 5 southbound off-ramp at the Rose Quarter/City Center exit (Exit 302 A) connection to North Broadway will undergo near-term solutions for safety and operational improvements for all users. Elements of the project include realigning the right turn lane at the southbound I-5 off-ramp at North Broadway, installing a pedestrian signal at the streetcar platform on North Broadway (between Ross and Wheeler), replacing the traffic signal at the intersection of North Broadway/I-5 off-ramp/North Vancouver, and curb/sidewalk changes at this intersection. No traffic impacts to vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians as crews periodically work in the shoulder during the day Monday-Friday.
