Plan ahead – Ehlen Road to close for several nights in October
 Our crews are making progress on the Aurora-Donald Interchange at Exit 278.
We've started removing the center portions of the bridge, which requires nighttime closures of Ehlen Road beneath the bridge for a few nights this month.
You can expect nighttime closures starting at 8 p.m. with the road reopening the following morning by 6 a.m. on:
- October 9
- October 10
- October 23
The on and off-ramps will remain open with flaggers helping direct traffic as needed. North and southbound traffic can exit but will not be able to turn left and go under the highway.
Cars can detour around the closure by using:
- Southbound off-ramp Exit 278 → Bents Road NE → Arndt Road NE → OR 551.
- Northbound off-ramp Exit 278 → OR 551 → Arndt Road → Bents Road NE.
Semi-trucks can detour around the closure by using:
- Exit 271 in Woodburn or Exit 282 near Wilsonville.
These shorter closures help us keep the road open longer so we don't have to close on busier days, like the weekend, reducing the impact on traffic.
Our schedule may change. Check out TripCheck.com before you go to get real-time traffic impacts, road and ramp closures. |

Other impacts you can expect:
- Crews working nightly, Sunday through Thursday with occasional weekend work.
- Up to two lanes closed nightly in either direction on I-5 from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.
- Other roads in the project area to have single lane closures as needed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- Reduced speed to 55 mph in the work zone.
- Grooves in the pavement in both the travel lanes and along the shoulder – use caution.
- Construction noise and delays.
There are a lot of moving parts in a project of this size. We're trying to keep you updated as best as we can. When we know more about the other ramp closures, we will send out another update.
