Now Open: I-205 across the Abernethy Bridge

The I-205 Abernethy Bridge is fully open between OR 99E and OR 43 after last night's closure to install a new sign structure. The sign structure is successfully installed and I-205 reopened on time by 7 a.m.

A second overnight closure is needed to remove an older sign structure and will be scheduled in the next couple of weeks. Due to windy conditions on Friday night, the contractor wasn't able to complete the work. We will share the date of the rescheduled overnight closure when confirmed.

What is this project?

ODOT is upgrading the Abernethy Bridge, which spans the Willamette River between Oregon City and West Linn, to withstand a major earthquake. We are also improving safety by realigning on- and off-ramps near the bridge and building new bike and pedestrian routes. This work is expected to finish in late 2026.
