Contractor Hamilton Construction has scheduled the beam placement next week and during the first week of December, the Oregon Department of Transportation reported. From 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly Tuesday, Nov. 18, to Thursday, Nov. 20, southbound I-5 traffic will be rerouted onto Highway 99 from Medford's exit 27 to Talent's exit 21. From 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly Tuesday, Dec. 2, to Thursday, Dec. 4, northbound I-5 traffic will travel around the construction site using the existing Phoenix exit 24 on- and off-ramps. A total of 38 beams — 19 in each direction — will be placed over I-5. Each beam weighs 34 tons and is 84 feet long and 33 inches tall, ODOT reported. The new bridge over I-5 will have two lanes in each direction, along with sidewalks and bike lanes. The $72 million Fern Valley Interchange project will feature Oregon’s first diverging diamond interchange design, which uses a narrower footprint to move traffic safely and efficiently while saving right-of-way costs, officials said.
