Portland, it’s time to Shift Your Trip! Effective at 10 p.m. tonight, for an estimated five weeks,
@OregonDOT is closing all southbound lanes of Interstate 5, near the Rose Quarter—all hours, all days. Some I-5 ramps and lanes may begin closing as early as 9 p.m.
The closure is for extensive structural repairs and maintenance to I-5 overpasses. Expect significant disruptions for people driving through North and Northeast Portland. Getting around the Portland metro area for work, school, or fun could require extra time, especially during weekday rush hour periods.
Shift Your Trip! Explore alternate modes of transportation like transit, carpooling, biking.
Shift your travel time, telework if you're able, or spend time exploring a local business district to avoid peak congestion on the road. Visit
portland.gov/shiftyourtrip for tips from

During this time of extra congestion, if you see lights and hear a siren, please move safely to the right for emergency vehicles. Creating a clear path for first responders can make all the difference when seconds count. Let’s work together to help them help our neighbors!
