Trunnion Replacement

Sept. 27, 2020
The northbound span of the Interstate Bridge re-opened late Friday but occasional southbound lane closures will continue in the weeks ahead as the project enters its final phase.
The most disruptive part of the project involved closing the northbound span to replace aging parts in the lift mechanism. But work continues.
- The left lane of southbound I-5 near the bridge is closed around-the-clock for one week while crews reconnect the median barrier.
- Beginning Monday, Sept. 28 and continuing through Friday, Oct. 2, southbound travel across the bridge will be reduced to one lane from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., while crews remove portions of the zipper barrier.
- Intermittent short-term nighttime bridge closures will also be needed while crews remove falsework, beginning Monday and continuing until complete.
- The sidewalk on the northbound span will remain closed through Sunday, Oct. 4. Bike and pedestrian travelers crossing the bridge in both directions will share the sidewalk on the southbound span.
Know before you go: You can view real-time traffic conditions and road cameras on TripCheck.com in Oregon and wsdot.com/traffic/trafficalerts in Washington. Expect delays and plan for them.
