SB Interstate Bridge left lane re-opens; night traffic impacts continue

Vancouver, WA — The I-5 Interstate Bridge Trunnion Replacement Project is in its final phase, which is good news for commuters, many of whom changed their travel habits during the project. The lane re-opened early Thursday as the bridge project winds down

Crews reopened the southbound right lane over the Interstate Bridge early Thursday. It closed late last Friday night when the northbound span re-opened for crews to reconnect the median barrier

Traffic impacts continue and travelers should expect:

• Nighttime single and double lane closures in both directions of I-5 as well as nighttime ramp closures between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. into October. In addition, intermittent short-term nighttime bridge closures may be needed while crews remove falsework.
• The sidewalk on the northbound span will remain closed through Sunday, Oct. 4. Bike and pedestrian travelers crossing the bridge in both directions will share the sidewalk on the southbound span.
• The speed limit will be restored to 50 mph Thursday but the area is still a work zone. Drive safely and remember, fines in work zones double whether workers are present or not.
