Plan for northbound I-5 traffic to shift next week

Monday morning, on Sept. 23, northbound I-5 traffic will shift

You can expect:

• Northbound traffic to shift to the right and use Exit 249 and the former I-5 on-ramp as the new northbound lanes for the next couple of years.
• A new concrete barrier between northbound I-5 traffic and cars coming from Delaney Road. Traffic coming from Delaney Road will not be able to access the Commercial Street ramp. 

Shifting traffic allows us to work more efficiently and helps keep our workers safer. 

Our schedules may change, please visit TripCheck.com for the most up to date information on road closures and traffic impacts.

About the work we've been doing

You've likely seen our crews working on the I-5 corridor in south Salem, between Kuebler Boulevard at Exit 252 and Delaney Road at Exit 248.

Now that northbound I-5 traffic is shifting, next we'll prepare the original northbound lanes for southbound traffic for the upcoming southbound traffic shift in a few weeks. You can expect:  Crews working during the day and at night. Southbound I-5 lane and shoulder closures as we work in the median. Construction noise. Ramp closures as needed.

Help us spread the word! Please share this email with your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and anyone else you think may need to know about construction in the area and encourage them to sign up to receive alerts about work in south Salem!

Pay attention in work zones, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work! Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers.  Remember that fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not.
