ODOT Launches $19.7 Million I-5 Repaving Project in Cottage Grove — Night Work Begins Now

The Oregon Department of Transportation is undertaking a project to repave and apply permanent striping to a section of I-5 in both directions in Cottage Grove, where significant damage and rapid cracking of the existing pavement has made repairs urgent — the total project cost is estimated at $19,728,432. The scope includes removing old pavement, repaving, installing new permanent striping, reinstalling shoulder rumble strips, and repairing or replacing guardrail as well as bridge surfaces and joints as needed. Most work will occur at night from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m., with single-lane, shoulder, and ramp closures in effect — and the speed limit reduced to 55 mph through the work zone. Ramp closures at Exit 172 and Exit 174 are expected in the coming weeks, so contractors and drivers with business on this corridor should plan accordingly. Nedes Estimating
