Beltline/Delta lane and ramp closures begin this coming Friday, Oct 30

Road Work Ahead

From ODOT:

Some significant lane and ramp closures begin this coming Friday and last throughout November with the exceptions of:
– No work on Halloween (Saturday, 10/31)
– No work on Tuesday, 11/3 until after the polls close at 8 p.m.
– No work over the Thanksgiving holiday

ODOT has been working to address the interchange’s outdated design with
mobility and safety improvements. In order to keep on schedule, budget, and
make as much progress possible before the needed winter rains arrive, the
project requires nighttime and daytime lane and ramp closures.

We anticipate temporary increased traffic congestion during these periods.
The four pending closures are:

Weekend Nighttime Closures on Delta Highway
Beginning Friday, October 30 (7 p.m.) to Saturday, October 31 (6 a.m.)
crews will close the outside Delta northbound travel lane to complete
shoulder widening work. Beginning Sunday, November 1 (10 p.m.) to
Monday, November 2 (6 a.m.) crews require complete nighttime closure of
Delta Highway just south of Beltline Highway to perform temporary paving.
Concurrently, three Beltline/Delta Interchange ramps also necessitate
closing (Beltline eastbound to Delta northbound, Delta southbound to
Beltline eastbound, and Delta northbound to Beltline westbound).
Detour signs will guide travelers.

10-Day West side Lane Reductions and Crossover: Delta Highway
Beginning Tuesday, November 3 (8 p.m.) crews will close the outside
Delta northbound travel lane and begin work to shift traffic to the east side
to build up the roadway for the future new intersection. At 9 p.m., crews
require complete closure of northbound and southbound lanes just south
of Beltline to complete the shift of traffic lanes to the highway’s east side,
providing one travel lane in each direction. The roadway will reopen to
traffic at 5 a.m. with this single lane crossover configuration. This new
layout will remain in place until November 13 (10 p.m.). Expect increased
traffic.

12-Day East side Lane Reductions and Crossover: Delta Highway
Beginning Friday, November 13 (10 p.m.) to Wednesday, November 25 (6
a.m.) all northbound and southbound traffic will shift over to the west side
on Delta Highway with one lane in each direction for crews to finish the
roadway build up for the future new intersection. Expect increased traffic.

3-Day Weekend Ramp Closure Beltline Highway to Delta Highway
Also on Friday, November 13 (10 p.m.) until Monday, November 16 (6
a.m.) crews require closure of the eastbound Beltline Highway ramp to
northbound Delta Highway to build up the roadway to match the new
section on Delta Highway. Detour signs will guide travelers.

Please note: All schedules are weather dependent and may shift based on
forecasts.
