Plan ahead for I-5 lane closures and three nights of full closures with detours
|
 We're continuing work on the Battle Creek Road Bridge as part of our I-5 widening project in south Salem. This work will require nighttime lane closures and three nights of full I-5 closures with signed detours.
 Plan for I-5 lane closures the night of January 8
We're bringing in large cranes to set the beams that support the bridge's driving surface.
What to expect the night of January 8:
- The right lane of north and southbound I-5 will close near milepost 250 at Battle Creek Road.
- Lane closures begin at 9 p.m. and reopen at 5 a.m. on January 9.
- Only one lane to remain open in each direction.
- Crews working overnight.
- Construction noise and delays.
|
Expect full nighttime I-5 closures January 12-14
Once the large cranes and other equipment are in place, we will start setting the bridge beams.
To keep you and our workers safe, both directions of I-5 will close for three nights.
|
What to expect the nights of January 12-14:
- North and southbound I-5 to close between Exit 248 and Exit 252.
- Closure in place from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night.
- All I-5 traffic to detour onto Commercial Street SE and Kuebler Boulevard.
- Construction noise and delays.
Our schedule may change due to weather and construction needs. Know before you go and use TripCheck.com for the most up-to-date information on traffic and closures.
