I-205 Project

ODOT invites you to explore the I-205 Improvements Project online open house (English or Español) now through April 30 to watch a new video and learn more about the project (other language options below). This project improves a seven-mile stretch of I-205 from Stafford Road in West Linn to OR 213 in Oregon City. Find out more in ODOT's online open house now through April 30.

The project improves a seven-mile stretch of I-205 from Stafford Road in West Linn to OR 213 in Oregon City. It will add a third travel lane in each direction, improve the Abernethy Bridge and eight other bridges to withstand a major earthquake, and upgrade interchanges.

 

Project Benefits

Reduced Congestion and Travel Times

  • The project improves travel for Oregonians by reducing crashes and daily congestion by 4.75 hours each day by making it easier and safer to enter and exit the interstate and adding a third lane in each direction.

Fewer Crashes

  • Improved interchanges and on- and off-ramps will make travel safer, resulting in fewer crashes.

Earthquake-Ready Bridges

  • The Abernethy Bridge and eight other I-205 bridges will be upgraded or replaced to withstand a major earthquake. An earthquake-ready corridor will support this critical lifeline route in providing supplies and services to the region after a disaster.

 

About the Project

The I-205 Improvements Project is part of a Comprehensive Congestion Management and Mobility Plan to comprehensively reduce congestion and crashes throughout the region. This project will create safer, more reliable, earthquake ready travel on I-205 by building a third travel lane in each direction, improving the Abernethy Bridge and 8 other bridges to withstand a major earthquake, and making operational improvements at interchanges and with RealTime Signs.

A safer, less congested corridor will support a healthy Oregon economy, and improve access to work, health and play.
