The most significant impacts to traffic will occur over the 19 days between May 6 and May 25. During that time, northbound I-5 will be reduced to two lanes across the Ravenna bridge around the clock while crews prepare and pour a new surface on the bridge deck . From May 6 through May 15, the two right lanes will be closed. From May 16 through May 25, crews will switch sides and close the two left lanes. Motorists should expect heavy congestion on northbound I-5 throughout this time, especially during evening commute hours.
Motorists can also expect closures of two ramps in the area.
From 7 a.m. Sunday, May 6 through 7 a.m. Tuesday, May 15, the ramp from NE 50 th Street to northbound I-5 will be closed around the clock. That exit will also close for one full weekend, from 10 p.m. Friday, May 11, to 5 a.m. Monday, May 14. Please note that the dates and times of all the above lane and ramp closures may change depending on weather. Also included in this project is bridge rail and expansion joint repair work at the northbound I- 5 bridge crossing NE 103 rd Street.
