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,

will be open on I-84 west while
construction occurs.
To detour from this week’s

should also be expected.
It’s the second of three ma-
jor ramp closures to occur this
summer, which accommodates
