I-5 Closure Hits Portland Commutes | Portland News

ODOT is shutting down a major stretch of I-5 in Portland for five weeks to upgrade the Rose Quarter — and it’s going to seriously disrupt commutes. While one southbound on-ramp stayed open Friday night to help fans get to the Weezer concert at Moda Center, that mercy lane closed by 11:30 PM. Starting Saturday — and especially during weekday rush hours — drive times could double or triple. Officials urge drivers to reschedule if possible: this closure will reshape Portland’s traffic for the next month.
