June 3, 2026
GRANTS PASS - Travelers can expect delays of up to 15 minutes on Interstate 5 north of Grants Pass on Thursday morning, June 4. Beginning at about 7:30 a.m., watch for rolling slowdowns in the northbound and southbound lanes between Exit 61 (Merlin) and Exit 76 (Wolf Creek) while utility crews replace power lines over the interstate.
During a rolling slowdown, traffic control vehicles hold traffic to a slow but steady pace to give utility crews time to access the power lines. This allows crews to work safely while keeping traffic moving, avoiding lengthy road closures. Emergency vehicles will be allowed to pass through as needed.
The work is scheduled to be completed before 10 a.m. Expect congestion. Watch for pilot cars and use caution when traveling through the work zone.
To avoid delays, use an alternate route or postpone travel until traffic clears. Check TripCheck.com for the latest information.
