Our crews have been working hard on the I-5 widening project between Kuebler Boulevard and Delaney Road. A couple weeks ago, we shifted northbound I-5 traffic onto the new alignment.

This week we shifted southbound traffic so we can remove and replace the I-5 South Commercial Street bridge, plan ahead!

You can expect a new single-lane connection from South Commercial Street to southbound I-5. 

Shifting traffic allows us to have a closed work zone, making it safer for drivers and our workers. North and southbound traffic will remain shifted for the next couple of years. 

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

We've shifted both directions of I-5 traffic while we widen southbound to three lanes, build two soundwalls, remove and replace two bridges and pave both south and northbound lanes.

In general, you can expect: 

• Crews working during the day and at night.
• Construction noise.
• Lane, shoulder and 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.
