The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) reports the following I-5 construction projects that will impact traffic, for the period of Sunday, March 8 through Saturday March 14. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
Douglas County
Interstate 5 (Pacific Highway), MP 1-163, Southern Oregon Wrong Way Driver Mitigation project
This project improves safety along Interstate 5 by adding features that alert drivers when they enter an interchange off-ramp from the wrong direction. These enhancements include permanent signs, reflective pavement markings and flashing beacons. The project will involve most off-ramps on I-5 from the California border to the Curtin interchange (MP 1-163).
From March to June, the contractor will install signs along I-5 interchange off-ramps, starting near the California border and working north through Jackson, Josephine and Douglas counties. Watch for construction vehicles and workers along off-ramp shoulders.

Interstate 5 (Pacific Highway), MP 58.1-66.7, Monument Drive to north Grants Pass
This project area, located north of Grants Pass, involves 10 miles of I-5 and ramps at four interchanges. The project will repair pavement along the I-5 travel lanes and ramps, replace bridge joints, remove roadside hazards and install guardrail. Construction is scheduled for completion this fall.
The southbound I-5 off-ramp at Exit 58 (North Grants Pass) is scheduled to be closed at night (7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) from Monday evening, March 9, to Friday morning, March 12, weather permitting. Drivers are advised to use alternate routes.
Watch for intermittent I-5 lane closures through the work zone for shoulder work and guardrail installation. Watch for construction signs and traffic control devices. Flaggers will provide traffic control on the ramps as needed. The rest areas will remain open during this work phase.
Due to heavy fog and limited visibility, drivers are asked to use headlights through the work zone.
