 I-205 Improvements planned for the project’s first phase.
ODOT has issued a Notice of Intent to Award to Kiewit Infrastructure West, which means the contracting process is underway with Kiewit to build the first phase of the I-205 Improvements Project. This is a major milestone in our effort to provide safer and more reliable travel along this important corridor. Kiewit is involved in transportation infrastructure projects nationwide and built Portland’s Tilikum Crossing. Pending the contract award, Abernethy Bridge work will begin this summer and last through 2025.
 Tolls in Portland area would be collected electronically so drivers would not have to slow or stop. The image above is an example of an electronic toll.
One of the most pressing questions people have about tolling coming to Oregon is, “How will you help people experiencing low incomes and how are they being considered in decision-making?” Learn what is being considered to help people with low incomes experience the benefits of tolling (travel time savings, reliability, and safety) while minimizing the burden of toll fees.
Other tolling news:
 Auxiliary lanes or ramp-to-ramp connections give drivers more space and time to merge safely, reducing crashes. The above video from the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program explains how they work.
How will auxiliary lanes and full shoulders improve safety? What is a highway cover and what function does it serve? Learn how the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project design improves safety and connects community.
