Nighttime ramp closures are scheduled on Interstate 5 in Creswell starting October 13, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The northbound I-5 on-ramp from Cloverdale Road will be closed nightly from October 13 through October 15. Work will take place between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Travelers should expect construction noise and possible delays during these hours. Drivers heading north can use OR 99 toward Goshen as an alternate route while the ramp is closed.
Some aspects of the project may change depending on weather conditions. ODOT advises checking TripCheck.com for the latest updates on traffic and road impacts.
“Pay attention in work zones, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work. Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers,” ODOT stated in its announcement.
The agency also reminds drivers that fines double in all Oregon work zones, regardless of whether workers or signs are present.
