Suggested Newsletter Text

  • Whether you are commuting in Portland or planning a trip through the area, ODOT would like travelers across Oregon to be aware of a major closure of all southbound lanes of I-5 in Portland between I-84 and I-405 starting September 11th and lasting up to five weeks. During the closure, overdue road repairs will be done as part of the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project. Learn more about the closure at the project's website and sign up for traffic alerts here. 

  • I-5 through the Rose Quarter in Portland is aging and needs repairs. Starting September 11, 2026, all lanes of I-5 southbound will be closed through the Rose Quarter between I-405 and I-84 around the clock for up to 5 weeks. One lane will remain open from I-405 to the Broadway exit at the Moda Center. Closures are expected to cause the worst traffic in the region's history.

    This is going to be tough for travelers and businesses alike. Travelers are urged to plan ahead, leave early, adjust travel times if possible and consider options like carpooling or transit. The more people modify their travel plans, the better the system will function for everyone, including emergency responders and freight trucks.
