About the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project:
We are improving safety and congestion where I-5, I-84 and I-405 converge and reconnecting the Albina neighborhood by constructing a highway to cover over a portion of I-5.
From summer 2025 through late 2026, we are constructing new stormwater facilities, repairing the concrete deck in a section of I-5 completing a seismic retrofit, extending an existing merging lane on SB I-5, and constructing a new sign structure. Visit the project website for more information.
Graphic illustrates the approximate location of planned closures. Closures will take place on both I-5 northbound and southbound left lanes.
