The Project also includes the interchange of I-5 and Northeast (NE) Broadway and NE Weidler Streets (the Broadway/Weidler interchange) and the surrounding transportation network, from approximately NE Hancock Street to the north, North Benton Street to the west, NE Multnomah Street to the south, and NE Second Avenue to the east. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT or the Agency) is in the process of completing an Environmental Assessment (“EA”) for the project to meet the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) requirements. The majority of funding for design and construction of the project was recently authorized by the Oregon Legislature via House Bill 2017. As a result, this project is rapidly moving forward with a project purpose defined to improve safety and operations on I-5 within the project limits and to improve local connectivity and multimodal access across I-5. The project need focuses on safety and operations of the system to promote travel reliability. Workshop Objective Due to the complexity of the project, the number of stakeholders, and the aggressive project schedule, ODOT elected to hold a facilitated project review workshop on May 7-8, 2018 with industry contractors and key technical Agency staff to: 1. Review and provide input on construction staging/phasing. 2. Provide feedback on construction schedule durations and logic. 3. Review and define project risks.
