Freeway Ramp Closure: I-84 West to I-5 North Expect traffic delays in the coming weeks as freeway con- struction of I-84 and I-5 ramps continue. I-84 westbound from Lloyd Center to I-5 northbound, a ramp that closed last week, will remain closed until 5am Monday, August 6 and only the far left lane will be open on I-84 west while construction occurs. To detour from this week’s ramp closure, Oregon Department of Transportation recommends taking I-5 south, then I-405 north across the Fremont Bridge, and re- sume course at US 30 west or I-5 north. Traffic delays on city streets should also be expected. It’s the second of three ma- jor ramp closures to occur this summer, which accommodates ODOT’s replacing of the concrete and steel that carried 147,000 vehicles on an average day. The maintenance, called the I-5 at I-84 Rehabilitation Project, is need- ed to keep bridges functioning in the coming decades, ODOT stat- ed, though 5am to 11pm gridlock should be expected as a result.
