I-5 Southbound Closed for 5 Weeks | Portland News

I-5 Southbound in Portland is officially closed for five weeks starting Friday night, part of the Rose Quarter Improvement Plan — and it’s going to reshape commutes for everyone heading south, especially in North and Northeast Portland. Traffic flowed smoothly over the weekend, but Monday’s rush hour will be the real test. ODOT urges drivers to use the weekend to map out new routes, with I-405 as the main detour. Northbound I-5 remains open, and while the initial rollout was smooth, plan ahead — this closure could last until late October.
