Stay in the know! Interstate 5 closures are in our future as part of the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project.
Get ready for five weeks of southbound closures on I-5
Have you heard? There’s a big closure coming to I-5 starting at 10 p.m. on September 11, 2026. Critical repairs are needed to make your travel smoother and safer for at least the next 25 years.
Here are the facts:
- We expect this closure to last up to five weeks, through roughly mid-October. The closure will be continuous, so 24 hours a day, all seven days of each week.
- Only southbound lanes will be closed. I-5 northbound will remain open.
- The closure will be active between I-405 and I-84. Local traffic coming south on I-5 will be detoured to I-405, and regional traffic will be detoured to I-205.
- Local traffic needing access to the Moda Center area will be permitted to use one lane to exit at NE Broadway from southbound I-5.
- I-84 westbound to I-5 northbound and southbound will remain open.
