Headed to Portland late tonight, or over the weekend? Watch for a detour.
Interstate 5 through downtown Portland will be closed beginning tonight through 5 a.m. Monday, Oregon Department of Transportation officials say. Motorists can detour around the closure on Interstate 405.
The closure is maintenance-related and will continue in some for on weekends through Aug. 20.
Though I-405 is an option, traffic delays are expected, according to ODOT.
Motorists wanting to take Interstate 84 eastbound from Interstate 5 southbound will need to take I-405 around downtown and then use I-5 north.
The Rose Quarter offramp will remain open to local traffic.
