Night ramp and lane closures continue Monday for freeway sign replacement project

Night lane and ramp closures continue Monday April 16 along Interstate 5 and will begin this week on Interstate 84 as ODOT’s freeway sign replacement project continues.

ODOT is upgrading, repairing and replacing interstate highway signs on I-5 and on I-84 throughout 2018. The upgraded signs are brighter, more reflective and meet new federal standards.

Starting Monday, the following ramps and lanes will see closures.

  • The northbound I-5 off-ramp to Terwilliger Boulevard will be closed from 10 p.m. Monday April 16 to 5 a.m. Tuesday April 17.
  • The southbound I-5 off-ramp to Multnomah Boulevard will be closed from 10 p.m. Tuesday April 17 to 5 a.m. Wednesday April 18.
  • The right lane on northbound I-5 at milepost 292.5 will be closed 8 p.m. Wednesday April 18 to 5:30 a.m. Thursday April 19.
  • The right lane on southbound I-5 at milepost 292.8 will be closed from 8 p.m. Thursday April 19 to 5:30 a.m. Friday April 20.
  • The right lane on westbound I-84 at milepost 10.2 will be closed from 8 p.m. Friday April 20 to 5:30 a.m. Saturday April 21.

Further night ramp and lane closures will be necessary on I-5.As the sign project progresses on I-84 work will involve lane closures, as well as a full closure on I-84 this summer.

ODOT has been upgrading and replacing highways throughout the state in recent years. In 2015, the first phase of the project was completed with the replacement of about 300 signs on I-5.
