I5 Interstate Bridge Construction Update

The left lane is closed on I-5 south at the Interstate Bridge as construction crews reconnect the median barrier and wrap up the Trunnion repair project. Expect delays traveling into Oregon until October 4th and plan your travel strategy accordingly.

The northbound sidewalk of the Interstate Bridge may also remain closed up until Sunday, Oct. 4, to facilitate construction work. Bike and pedestrian travelers crossing the Interstate Bridge in both directions will continue to share the sidewalk on the southbound span of the bridge. There will be occasional night lane closures on I-5, up to 30-minute bridge lifts on the northbound span and nighttime ramp closures between Marine Drive in Portland and SR 14 in Vancouver as work winds down. The Interstate Bridge Trunnion Replacement website has the most up to date information.

Bus on Shoulder Lanes

C-TRAN has used Bus on Shoulder lanes since they were first implemented in Clark County in 2017. The Bus on Shoulder lanes allows transit vehicles to use the shoulder of a given corridor to bypass traffic during times of heavy congestion. It creates faster travel times for buses and more reliable transit service for our region’s commuters.

Bus-only shoulder lanes are currently in use on three freeway corridors in the region: State Route 14 ( eastbound and westbound between SE 164th Avenue and Interstate 205), Interstate 5 (southbound only between 99th Street and the Interstate Bridge) and Interstate 205 (northbound and southbound across the Glenn Jackson Bridge).
