I-5 MP 195.45 to 195.46	Future Event: OFF RAMP Informational only; Construction Work Expected Start Date: 5/27/2013 5:00:00 PM Comments: May 28 thru 31, the west bound Beltline ramp to south bound I 5 will be closed between 8 pm and 5 30 am. Detour route posted. Use caution. Ramps Affected. Construction on a project to improve the Interstate 5/OR 569 (Randy Papé Beltline) interchange in Eugene/Springfield, will result in nighttime ramp closures and rolling slowdowns on Interstate 5 beginning next week. Beginning Tuesday, May 28 and continuing until Friday morning, May 31, the westbound Beltline ramp to southbound I-5 will be closed nightly from 8 pm to 5:30 am. A second week of nighttime ramp closures will occur between June 3 and Friday morning, June 7, from 8 pm to 5:30 am. Ramp closure detour During the ramp closures, motorists should continue westbound on Beltline, take Exit 12 to Coburg Rd. southbound, cross under and re-enter Beltline eastbound, exit to I-5 southbound (See attached map). Rolling slowdowns During the same two week period, there will be multiple rolling slowdowns of traffic in both directions on I-5 nightly, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. The slowdowns will allow the contractor time to place beams across I-5 as part of a temporary bridge. The southbound rolling slowdowns will begin at the Coburg exit (Exit 199). The northbound rolling slowdowns will begin at the Glenwood Blvd. exit (Exit 191). Traffic will be released shortly after passing under the Beltline bridge. During the rolling slowdowns, traffic will be held on the ramps accessing I-5 between the slowdown points. On I-5, pilot cars will travel in front of traffic at a reduced speed, creating a window of time for the contractor to place beams used for a temporary bridge being constructed across the freeway on Beltline. There are a total of seventeen beams to be placed. The contractor will also use the rolling slowdowns to remove some existing sign structures over the highway. Closures associated with I-5/Beltline Unit 3 project I-5/Beltline Unit 3 is a two-year project funded by the 2009 Jobs and Transportation Act (HB 2001), approved by the Oregon Legislature. K & E Excavating, Inc., of Salem was awarded the low-bid contract of $13.368 million. Construction is scheduled for completion in November, 2014. This is the third phase of improvements to make the interchange safer and more efficient. In 2013 and 2014, the project will construct: - A new southbound I-5 to westbound Beltline off-ramp. - A new southbound I-5 to eastbound Beltline off-ramp. - A new westbound Beltline to southbound I-5 on-ramp - A new Beltline Bridge over I-5 with two additional eastbound lanes - A new dedicated right turn lane for eastbound Beltline to southbound Gateway Base construction and structures for a new multi-use path to connect south of the interchange to north of the interchange. The path is to open upon completion of Unit 4 in 2016. Updated: 05/23/2013 5:34 pm
I-5 MP 195.45 to 195.46	Informational only; Construction Work Lanes Affected: (Southbound) 3 Lanes (Northbound) 3 Lanes Comments: The posted speed limit has been reduced to 35 on the Beltline bridge and 50 on Interstate 5 near the interchange due to construction work zone. New, lower speed limits have been implemented on the Randy Papé Beltline bridge over Interstate 5, and on I-5 beneath the bridge where construction has begun on a two-year project to improve the I-5/Beltline interchange. Beginning Wednesday, April 17, 2013, the posted, enforceable speed limit on the Beltline bridge over I-5 will be 35 miles per hour. The speed limit on I-5 near the interchange will be reduced to 50 miles per hour. The speed limit reductions will be enforced until the project is completed in fall of 2014. The speed limit reductions are intended to improve work zone safety for all highway users and construction workers. From 2007 through 2011 in Oregon, 53 people died and more than 2,200 were injured in work zone crashes. The majority of people injured or killed in these crashes were drivers, passengers or pedestrians, not workers. The single biggest factor in crashes is driver inattention; that’s why orange cones, variable message signs and other tools are used to alert motorists. The other major contributing factor is speed, which is why work zones often require lower speed limits. National Work Zone Awareness Week is April 16-19.
