Two hours ahead of schedule. That's when I-5 reopened after our Northwest team executed a major freeway closure on the Oregon Department of Transportation's I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project. What you didn't see were the months of preparation, coordination, and teamwork that made it possible.
Working in joint venture with Hamilton Construction and alongside our skilled trade partners, the team safely coordinated dozens of concurrent work activities, equipment movements, material deliveries and traffic through one of Oregon's busiest transportation corridors.
This marks an important step forward on the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project, which will enhance safety, reduce congestion and reconnect neighborhoods while modernizing a critical section of Oregon's transportation network.
Thank you to every employee-owner, partner and ODOT team member whose professionalism and commitment made this a success. It's a strong start to the work still ahead.
