An Oregon Department of Transportation project to replace two aging Interstate 84 bridges in the Troutdale area begins Monday, Feb. 4. The bridges span Graham Road and will be raised to better accommodate truck traffic, widen Graham Road to three lanes and add bike lanes and a new sidewalk. Drivers should expect occasional lane closures during night work on I-84. Some lanes and ramps on the interstate will be closed on weekends and nights. Graham Road will be fully closed for as many as six weekends.
This is a map of the project location for the bridge construction in Troutdale.
The speed limit in the area will be reduced to 50 mph on I-84. This project is expected to last through 2020. Closure schedule and details are available at www.i-84troutdale.org
