The following info is from ODOT in regards to upcoming impacts from their I-205 work.
Starting the night of June 13 and continuing several more times over the summer, there will be overnight directional closures of the I-205 Abernethy Bridge as crews pour concrete on the newly-widened bridge deck. These overnight closures will either be northbound or southbound but not both directions at the same time. This work depends on dry weather, and schedules may change or shift on short notice.
Details of the first nighttime directional closure:
• Overnight directional closure of I-205 northbound across the Abernethy Bridge (between OR 99E and OR 43) Saturday, June 13 from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
• The following on-ramp will also close:
o OR 43 on-ramp to I-205 northbound.
Local and Regional Detours
• Northbound traffic will bypass I-205 in this section by using detours on I-5 and I-84.
• Local traffic can use the Arch Bridge to cross the river.
• Southbound I-205 lanes will remain open.
As this time, two more nighttime closures of I-205 northbound across the bridge are planned for June 20 and June 27, but subject to change. We will send out more emails when dates are confirmed.
