Beltline ramp work moved into September; the end dates still disagree
TripCheck now starts River Road work Sept. 13 and Coburg Road work Sept. 8, but other cards stretch both projects through Sept. 22.
The Beltline ramp work that TripCheck previously placed in late August is now a September job. The fresh informational records put the Coburg Road ramps first, beginning Sept. 8, and the River Road ramps beginning Sept. 13. Work is scheduled for Sunday-through-Thursday nights between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The highway itself is supposed to remain open. TripCheck says only one or two ramps at an interchange will close at a time while all four on- and off-ramps are repaved.
The ending is less tidy. Informational cards estimate Sept. 11 for Coburg Road and Sept. 16 for River Road, while construction cards list both interchanges through Sept. 22. Those records were still side by side at 6:05 a.m. Treat the start dates as current planning information and check TripCheck again before choosing a nighttime route.
Field notes
What changed: ODOT's public road records moved the Beltline ramp work from the late-August schedule previously reported by The Current into September.
Why it matters: Drivers can stop planning around this week's old closure window, but the conflicting completion dates make later-night routing uncertain.
Who may be affected: Nighttime Beltline travelers using the Coburg Road and River Road ramps.
