Interstate 405 south & U.S. 26 east
Traffic from U.S. 26 east merges onto Interstate 405 (Stadium Freeway) south at the 12th Avenue overpass. The busiest part of Interstate 405 is where drivers from U.S. 26 eastbound conflict with entering traffic from Montgomery Street and exiting traffic to SW Broadway (Exit 1C). Substantial traffic congestion ensues during peak rush hours. Lake Oswego, Southwest Portland, the Ross Island Bridge and Milwaukie are all accessed through Exit 1C. 08/27/06
Interstate 405 (Stadium Freeway) continues east from the split with U.S. 26 (Exit 1C) to Interstate 5 at the Marquam Bridge. U.S. 26 spans the Willamette River along the Ross Island Bridge between Naito Parkway (OR 10) and Powell Boulevard. There is no direct access to the span from either Interstate 5 or 405. 08/27/06

Looking east on Powell, traffic is also directed toward OR 99E. 99E isn't routed down 17th Avenue, but you can head south on 17th to connect with the state highway at McLoughlin Boulevard. 03/01/08
