ACTION
REQUESTED:
Approval or reject the following motion:
ALLOW CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF THE HOURS OF 7 AM

ISSUE
STATEMENT:
Section 5.220(c) of the Springfield Municipal Code allows construction activities
between 7 am and 6 pm. In order to complete project work in a timely manner, and
to reduce the project’s impact on traffic, the Oregon Department of Transportation
(ODOT) proposes to perform much of this project during nighttime hours from
November 1, 2012 through November 30, 2014.

DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
ODOT is engaged in a multi-unit/multi-year project to improve traffic capacity and
safety at the I-5/Beltline Interchange. Units 1 and 2 of the project are complete, and
construction on Unit 3 is scheduled to begin in November 2012. Unit 4 is currently
under design with construction anticipated to begin in 2014.
Unit 3 involves reconstructing the Beltline Overcrossing over I-5, and the south
bound off ramps from I-5 to Beltline. It will also include reconfiguring part of the
southwest corner of the Beltline/Gateway Intersection that was constructed with
Unit 2 to accommodate new eastbound lane configurations on Beltline. ODOT will
pay all costs associated with the Unit 3 project.
Attachment 1 includes a detailed description of the work, potential noise generating
activities, and ODOT’s plans for managing nighttime work and lane closures
throughout the 2-year construction term.
A Springfield staff member will be involved in the construction team and will
communicate anticipated night work to Council, staff and the public.
Staff recommends approval of the requested night work for I-5/Beltline Interchange
Unit 3 as proposed in Attachment 1.
