About the I-5 project
Last year, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) began construction on the I-5 paving project between Halsey and the Linn/Lane county line.
On northbound I-5, work was completed paving and installed rumble strips, reflective markers and guardrail. New permanent striping has also been applied.Â
All work is weather dependent and subject to cjange.
