I-5 Viaduct Replacement Project
June 8, 2010
Join ODOT to Learn More About the I-5 Viaduct Replacement Project at SW Iowa St.
The I-5 viaduct that crosses the ravine at SW Iowa Street must be replaced. The viaduct columns are in need of major repairs and do not meet seismic standards. The bridge deck is in poor condition, with cracks appearing faster than they can be patched. The replacement viaduct will be wider to accommodate upgraded shoulders and median and will include new retaining walls in the project area.
A contractor for the Oregon Department of Transportation is preparing to start construction on this project to replace the I-5 viaduct at SW Iowa St. (milepost 298 on I-5, just north of the Terwilliger Boulevard ramps and just south of the Corbett Avenue off-ramp). Construction on the three-year project is expected to begin as early as this summer.
Come Learn More.
A construction project on I-5 presents unique challenges, especially in areas where easy detours are not available. ODOT has already talked with a number of neighbors about construction impacts. They would like to talk to you, too!
ODOT will host an informal Open House about the project in the Portland French School Lobby on June 10. The Open House will include the most recent information about potential noise, traffic, landscaping and trail impacts. The construction manager will be on hand to talk about the contractor’s schedule.
Thursday, June 10, 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Portland French School Lobby
6318 SW Corbett St.
If you can’t join us at the Open House, you can check the web site for the most current information: www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/REGION1/iowaviaduct/ <http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/REGION1/iowaviaduct/>
