About the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project:

ODOT is improving safety and congestion where I-5, I-84 and I-405 converge andย reconnecting the Albina neighborhood by constructing a highway to cover over a portion of I-5.

From summer 2025 through late 2026, ODOT will be constructing new stormwaterย facilities, repairing the concrete deck in a section of I-5 completing a seismic retrofit, extending an existing merging lane on SB I-5, and constructing a new sign structure.
