Detour Maps

Update as of Oct. 8: Southbound I-5 in the Rose Quarter and on- and off-ramps in the work zone have reopened, sooner than estimated. Expect occasional ramp and lane closures as we restore lane striping, barriers and other traffic controls to their original configuration.

Please watch out and slow down for crews still working to restore signs, other traffic control and continuing work on the project.

For the latest information on the closure reopening, view our newsletter and tell us how we did by taking our survey.

Plan ahead. Significant delays and unpredictable travel times are expected.

Travel times may take two to three times longer than usual.
Congestion could back up across the Columbia River into Washington and onto local streets in the Portland area.
If you need additional resources to help you get around during major closures or to communicate information with your network, visit our Closure Travel Resources or I-5 Closures Toolkit pages.

How will staged tows work during the closure?

Vehicles involved in an incident or stalled within the project boundaries do not have the preference of selecting a tow service provider. These vehicles will be towed by the project staged towing contractor selected by ODOT.
ODOT will be towing all abandoned vehicles within the project boundaries using the staged towing contractor.
All tows taken by staged towing contractor will be at owners expense.
