But, as always, it depends on the weather. The department had planned to close those ramps on Nov. 9 and keep them closed for up to 13 days while a temporary ramp onto northbound I-5 was constructed. But heavy rains delayed paving work that needed to be done first. If the ramps are closed on Monday evening, that leaves only 10 days until Nov. 24, the official launch of the holiday shopping season. "That's going to really make it a race to get the temporary ramp open by the day after Thanksgiving," Harwood said, adding that crews won't work on Thanksgiving Day. "We want there to be no issues for the Gateway retailers for the day after Thanksgiving, which is one of the biggest shopping days of the year," he said. To help shoppers, the highway agency gave retailers 12,000 cards with a map that details a detour route: east on Belt Line, south on Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, through the two-lane roundabout, south on Pioneer Parkway, west on Q St., west on Interstate 105 and north on I-5. The upcoming work is a small piece of a $72.5 million project to upgrade the I-5/Belt Line interchange. ODOT ODOT Oregon Department of Transportation ODOT Ohio Department Of Transportation ODOT Oklahoma Department of Transportation must close the northbound freeway entrances and build a temporary ramp in order to divert northbound traffic onto a temporary bridge over Game Farm Road. The current bridges over Game Farm are cracking and will be replaced. More information about the project is available online at www.keepusmoving.info. |
