Hillcrest Road under Interstate 5 will be closed for the next six months as contractor HP Civil performs major bridge foundation repair.

The $5 million Hillcrest Bridge improvement is part of the Southern Oregon Seismic Resilience project. Funded by the 2017 Keep Oregon Moving Act, the goal is to keep southern Oregon connected after a major earthquake. Fifteen bridges and four historic slopes are part of this project, designed to give southwest Oregon a lifeline for needed goods and supplies after a major earthquake.

A drop-in project open house was held on Oct. 20, at Grace Bible Church, where ODOT staff was available to answer project-related questions.

The Southern Oregon Seismic Triage Projects consists of the following:

  • Reinfornces 15 bridges and four slopes so southwest Oregon remains connected after a major earthquake;
  • Keeps OR 140 between U.S. 97/Medford and I-5 corridor from Medford/Eugene functional;
  • A total of $30 million in funding from HB 2017; $23.4 million from other sources;
  • Construction timeline from 2020 to 2024.

The projects include different areas of construction. They are separated by:

  • Pre-bundle, First Bridges: Interstate 5: Leland Road Bridges, Sunny Valley;
  • Bundle 1: Interstate 5 Hillcrest Road bridge, I-5 Exit 58, north Grants Pass bridges and I-5 Exit 80 Glendale.
  • Bundle 2: OR140 Bridges, east of White City; Del Rio Road Bridge over Sutherlin Creek
  • Bundle 3: Rogue River Highway Bridge replacements;
  • Slopes Bundle: Stabilizing four slopes on OR 140 and Interstate 5.
