Portland, OR, August 21, 2026 —
The southbound lanes of Interstate 205 (I-205) will be closed overnight on Saturday, August 22, to allow for concrete pouring on the Abernethy Bridge. The closure will impact traffic between Exit 99E and Exit 43.
Specifically, the southbound lanes of I-205 are scheduled to be closed from 11 p.m. on Saturday, August 22, until 7 a.m. on Sunday, August 23. During this time, construction crews will be pouring concrete as part of ongoing work on the Abernethy Bridge.
In addition to the main highway closure, the on-ramp from OR 99E to southbound I-205 will also be affected. This ramp will be closed earlier, starting at 10 p.m. on Saturday, August 22, and is expected to reopen at 8 a.m. on Sunday, August 23.
Motorists planning to travel southbound on I-205 during these hours are advised to seek alternate routes. The exact duration of the closures is subject to change depending on the progress of the concrete pouring and curing process.
