Traffic Impact
Both directions of I-5 traffic are shifted – use caution as you drive through the work zone. Wiltsey Street SE is closed at the Battle Creek Road SE intersection. Follow the signed detour.
Construction Impacts
48-hour ramp closure starting at 6 a.m. on May 7: Commercial Street ramp to southbound I-5
Starting at 6 a.m. on May 7, the ramp from Commercial Street to southbound I-5 will close for 48 hours. Expect a signed detour in place for all vehicles. Travelers can use the southbound I-5 on-ramps at Kuebler Boulevard or Delaney Road during the Commercial Street on-ramp closure.
We plan to reopen the Commercial Street ramp at 6 a.m. on May 9. Our schedule may change. Please visit TripCheck.com for the most up-to-date information on impacts.
If you're driving through the area now, you can expect:- A 55 mph speed limit in the I-5 work zone.
- Crews working during the day or night.
- Lane, shoulder and ramp closures as needed.
- Both directions of I-5 traffic to stay shifted into 2026:
- Southbound I-5 traffic to be shifted onto the former northbound lanes.
- Northbound I-5 traffic to use Exit 249 and the former I-5 on-ramp as the new northbound lanes.
- A single-lane connection from South Commercial Street to southbound I-5.
- A concrete barrier between northbound I-5 traffic and vehicles coming from Delaney Road. Traffic coming from Delaney Road will not be able to access the Commercial Street ramp.
- Wiltsey Street SE to be closed at the Battle Creek Road SE intersection until mid-2026. Traffic can detour around the closure by taking 36th Avenue SE north to Kuebler Boulevard.
- Trucks coming in and out of the site.
- Debris, dust, construction noise and potential delays.
Stay tuned – in the next few months we'll need to fully close I-5 again to demo the existing Battle Creek Bridge.
Construction Activities
We're working on:
- The sound wall near the terrace lake park community.
- Building the new Battle Creek Bridge.
- Preparing to widen the section of I-5 north of Delaney Road and pave a section of southbound I-5.
- Bringing in materials to build up the elevation of the Battle Creek Road SE and Wiltsey Street SE intersection for the new roundabout.
