The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) reports the following closures along I-5, occurring nightly between January 12 and January 14 from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM. These closures are a part of their ongoing expansion and safe enhancement project on the Battle Creek Road Bridge in South Salem. This operation will result in temporary lane and complete highway shutdowns along I-5 between exits 248 and 252, requiring detours as we set key structural components.
Preparations for these closures will include the transportation and installation of large cranes on January 8, which necessitate the closure of the right lane in both northbound and southbound directions near milepost 250. Anticipate restricted lanes during these hours and plan for potential delays due to construction activities.
During the full closure dates, traffic will be redirected via established detour routes. Northbound travelers should follow the signage directing them to Commercial Street SE, proceeding to Kuebler Boulevard to rejoin I-5. Southbound travelers will be similarly redirected from exit 252 onto Kuebler Boulevard before merging back onto the interstate via Commercial Street SE.
I-5 travelers should anticipate possible noise and additional delays, adjusting travel plans accordingly to accommodate this work.
