I-5 Closed For 26th Avenue Overpass Work
(Portland, OR) -- I-5 was closed in southwest Portland all weekend for work on the 26th Avenue Overpass. A new overpass was built under the old structure which was over 60 years old. Crews spent the weekend removing the old bridge. Traffic was diverted onto other freeways and highways causing heavier than usual traffic and long delays. I-5 is tentatively slated to reopen at 5 this morning.
