At approximately 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Interstate 5 reopened northbound and southbound across the Siskiyou Summit between Ashland’s milepost 11 and the Oregon-California border.
Although the freeway is open Thursday, the Oregon Department of Transportation warned on TripCheck.com that the weather might still change and make driving challenging. If you decide to travel this road, be aware that there may be chain limitations and keep an eye out for nearby workers and snowplows.
Additionally, before entering the freeway, travelers should check TripCheck.com and the weather prediction and have emergency supplies.
A lengthy queue of semis was seen reentering interstate lanes, according to a check of traffic cams just south of Ashland. Many of these cars had been detained for almost twenty-four hours during Wednesday’s I-5 closure.
In the vicinity of the Siskiyou Summit, be prepared for slow traffic and workmen.
Update on the #pdxtrafficOR/CA border. I-5 appears to be reopened in both directions at around ten o’clock last night. However, a peek at the Siskiyou Summit’s cameras reveals a lot of traffic jams. The temperature should rise today and into Friday, so try to postpone that drive. Visit https://t.co/0hg0utK6VYpic.twitter.com/L6kRd85ete to learn for yourself
