I-5 Bridges project to temporarily close Market Road overpass
Creswell— An ODOT construction project will soon impact the Market Road overpass over Interstate 5 in Creswell.
The Oregon Department of Transportation, through its contractor Wildish Standard Paving Co. of Eugene, Ore., is currently working on a $10.36 million federally-financed effort to improve freight mobility along the Interstate 5 corridor. ODOT is raising the elevation of 11 bridge overpasses in Marion, Linn and Lane counties. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
There will be a 10-day full closure of the Market Road overpass starting on or near October 25th to complete bridge raising and roadway work. Local traffic wishing to cross over Market Road will need to detour north to Cloverdale Road (OR 222: Springfield-Creswell Highway) during the proposed closure.
This project will elevate 11 bridges to provide a minimum clearance of 16 feet 8 inches over the freeway. This will eliminate the need to re-route the majority of oversized freight loads from I-5 onto local roads. In Creswell, the I-5 Bridges Vertical Clearance Improvement project will raise the height of the existing Market Road overpass approximately 13 inches.
