PROPOSED SOLUTIONSUpgrade the Abernethy Bridge and the eight other I-205 bridges in the project area to withstand a major earthquake. I-205 is a designated statewide north-south lifeline route, which means it must be operational quickly after a disaster renders other roadways unusable or impassable. This critical route will provide supplies and services to the region.
SEISMIC UPGRADES
www.I205Corridor.org
Install ODOT RealTime traffic information signs to help travelers get to where they’re going more safely and efficiently. These signs can display traffic flow information, roadway conditions and advisory speeds limits.
TRAVELER INFORMATION SIGNS
In order to improve safety and travel-time predictability on I-205, the OR 43 interchange will change. The project will remove the current I-205 northbound on-ramp from OR 43. Northbound traffic will instead use a roundabout to access northbound I-205. The roundabout reduces crashes and conflicts with movements to and from OR 43. The project also removes the Broadway Street bridge overcrossing. See inset below.
OR 43 INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS• Add a third lane in each direction on the seven-mile stretch of I-205 between
Stafford Road and OR 99E, and a northbound auxiliary (“entrance-to-exit”) lane between OR 99E and OR 213.
• Widening I-205 requires blasting to remove the rock slope on the northbound side of I-205 between the Sunset Avenue overcrossing and the OR 43 interchange. We are currently conducting additional analyses to determine impacts of the blasting, potential mitigations and duration of the work, and impacts to I-205 traffic.
• Sound walls will be built in two locations in the project area (shown below in pink), as determined by a vote among benefitted residents and property owners. Later, ODOT will conduct outreach and a voting process for an additional sound wall in Oregon City to determine if it will move forward as part of the project.
I-205 WIDENING
Widening I-205 requires rebuilding West A Street and Sunset Avenue, which cross over I-205. The Tualatin River, Borland Road and Woodbine Road bridges will also be replaced to current seismic standards.
