The first lane closures will begin at 8 p.m., on-ramps will close at 9 p.m. and all lanes on I-5 will close at 10 p.m. All lanes and ramps will re-open by 7 a.m. Saturday Sept. 26.

• Westbound I-84 to southbound I-5.

The I-5 Sign Replacement and Paving Project is replacing more than 300 green freeway signs from Southwest Corbett Avenue to North Lombard Street and repaving approximately seven miles of I-5 between Southwest Capitol Highway and the Marquam Bridge.

Many of the signs have lost their reflective properties over the years and will be upgraded to meet federal standards with more reflective materials.
