Thornton Overpass Girder Delivery

  • Intersections at Vista/Thornton and Malloy/Thornton
  • I-5 Exit 263 and Portal Way Roundabouts

Drivers should expect delays from Friday, November 4th through Friday, November 11th, as girders for the Thornton Overpass bridge will be delivered to the project site. Maneuvering the massive girders and other equipment through Ferndale city streets to the overpass work zone will cause intermittent traffic delays at various pinch points on Thornton Street and at the I-5 Exit 263 and Portal Way roundabouts.

Parking will be restricted around the intersections of Vista/Thornton and Malloy/Thornton on some days. Flaggers will be onsite to direct traffic when girders are moving through. Road will remain open during nonworking hours.
