Portland's I-5 Rose Quarter closure ends early, with northbound repairs planned for next summer

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has reopened southbound lanes of Interstate 5 through Portland's Rose Quarter ahead of schedule. The closure, which began on September 11, 2026, was expected to last five weeks but ended approximately 10 to 15 days early. ODOT attributed the early completion to favorable weather and 24-hour construction efforts. While the main lanes are open, crews will continue to restore traffic controls, and a similar closure for northbound lanes is planned for next summer.

21-year-old motorcyclist killed in I-5 crash near Columbia Blvd; speed and lane-splitting cited

A 21-year-old Battle Ground, Washington, motorcyclist Shea V. Heintz died in a crash on northbound I-5 at North Columbia Boulevard during heavy traffic. Investigators say the rider lane-splitted at speeds significantly faster than surrounding traffic, and collided with a sedan before hitting a tractor-trailer; speed and unlawful passing are believed factors. Northbound I-5 was closed between North Lombard Street and North Columbia Boulevard for a Major Crash Team investigation. The involved driver stayed at the scene and cooperated; no arrests or citations have been issued. Police urge anyone with information to submit tips (case No. 26-177125).
