Project-Details

Traffic Impact

Lane closures and work impacting traffic to occur during nights, in both directions.  

Construction Impacts

​Crews are removing equipment from the new bridge. The eastbound Beltline Highway to Delta Highway ramp will be paved to prepare for the new northbound Delta ramp and traffic signal. The ramp will be closed at night, 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., May 16 through 20. Day work will focus on the new drop lane that will take traffic from eastbound Beltline Highway to Delta Highway.

Changes coming soon:

​​
Near the end of May the new traffic signal will turn on, the new lane will open, and all traffic going from eastbound Beltline to Delta Highway will exit on the west side.

Work zone safety will be enforced by police.  ​

Pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will have access through or around work zones. 

About

The interchange was designed and built when the surrounding area was still rural. The problems that will be addressed by this project are: 

• The outdated interchange design creates merging and weaving issues on the two intersecting highways.
• This area has been identified as a high crash location by ODOT's Safety Priority Index System (SPIS) in 2012 and 2014.

Changes will be made to the Interchange Configuration

• Eastbound drivers exiting Beltline to northbound Delta will pass through a new traffic signal. 
• The exit ramp from Beltline to northbound and southbound Delta will be extended to the Willamette River Bridge. This will allow traffic to exit Beltline sooner.
• A new bridge will take northbound Delta traffic onto westbound Beltline (via the loop ramp). The new bridge will be constructed next to the existing overpass specifically for this traffic.
• The loop ramp for westbound traffic is being reconstructed to add a new lane; after completion the loop ramp will have two lanes​.
  
• A new ramp meter will be installed at the end of the loop ramp, at the merge with westbound Beltline. The ramp meter will create space between cars and trucks entering the highway, allowing traffic on Beltline to flow more smoothly. 

Travel will change through the interchange as ramps are improved:

• Loop ramp from eastbound Beltline to northbound Delta will be removed.
• Off-ramp from eastbound Beltline to southbound Delta will be reconfigured.
• Loop ramp from northbound Delta to westbound Beltline will be reconstructed.
• On-ramp from Goodpasture Island Road to northbound Delta will be reconfigured.
