Big changes are coming for drivers who use the I-480 Valley View Bridge. That's because the new 4,150-foot center section of the Valley View Bridge will open in the westbound direction starting at 5 a.m. on Monday, June 5.
Once this section opens, motorists on I-480 West will be able to use the center bridge as an express lane to pass the I-77 interchange. Drivers who wish to stay on I-480 can use the newly open lanes on the center of the bridge or continue on the westbound bridge as normal.
"Those needing to exit at I-77 should stay on the westbound bridge and use the right lanes," according to ODOT officials.

I-480 westbound between Transportation Blvd. and I-77 will have various lane restrictions beginning on Friday, June 2, at 7 p.m. through 5 a.m. Monday, June 5, for maintenance of traffic shift.
