Work on a stormwater management project will close one northbound traffic lane and the right shoulder on Interstate 5 beginning tonight. The work area is about one half mile north of Exit 295, the Capitol Highway/Taylors Ferry Road exit.
Construction will close the lane and shoulder and for up to 40 nights over the next eight weeks. Overnight construction hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. The contractor may also work in the same area on Sundays from 9:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.
The work is part of a project to collect and treat stormwater runoff from the freeway to protect Tryon Creek water quality. Environmental Services is working with the Oregon Department of Transportation on the stormwater management project.
