Eugene, OR – Per reports, the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project includes a highway cover over sections of Interstate 5 that will reconnect local streets and create new community spaces for future development and economic opportunities.

This new cover will also include seismic upgrades, making the structure over I-5 more resilient in the event of the Cascadia earthquake.

Governor Kotek also wrote a letter of support to the USDOT for the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project in September 2023.

Governor Kotek reportedly said:

“The I-5 Rose Quarter Project is an ambitious project and this catalytic investment will relieve traffic, create new community spaces, foster innovative development and reconnect communities that were divided and cut off from economic opportunities by Portland’s transportation infrastructure. I’m grateful for the advocacy and leadership from our federal delegation in making this award happen.”
