Traffic Advisory in Portland

The Oregon Department of Transportation has begun two interstate rehabilitation projects in summer 2018 that will impact Portland area drivers attempting to come to Providence Park


I-5 at I-84 Rehabilitation Project
The I-5 at I-84 Rehabilitation Project will replace aging concrete and steel on the interchange ramps that connect I-84 and I-5. Three of the four connecting ramps will require closure to all traffic 24-hours a day for up to two weeks each (only one ramp will close at a time).


The first multi-day ramp closure, I-5 southbound to I-84 eastbound, is scheduled for the night of July 8.* The ramp will remain closed until 5:00 a.m. on Monday, July 23. A detour route will be marked, however, severe congestion will occur and we recommend people avoid the area, walk, bike or take transit if possible.


I-5 Paving Project
The I-5 Repaving Project will repave both north and southbound lanes, including exit and entrance ramps, for six miles of I-5 between the Marquam and Interstate bridges. The project also will replace freeway signage, upgrade ADA ramps and replace the median barriers at a couple key locations.


Southbound I-5 will be closed between the Fremont and Marquam bridges from 10 p.m. Friday, July 13 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 16 and again from 10 p.m. Friday, July 20 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 23.


Follow signed detour routes. Please also see detour route maps for each project.


The latest information is available online for both the I-5 at I-84 Rehabilitation Project and I-5 Repaving Project.
