Interstate 205 is the eastern bypass route around the Portland metropolitan area. With a modern design and additional travel lanes, regional traffic headed north to Seattle or south to Salem generally uses I-205 in lieu of I-5.
Interstate 205 branches southeast from a wye interchange with I-5 in Salmon Creek, Washington, through eastern neighborhoods of Vancover. I-205 enters Oregon at the Columbia River, crossing into the Beaver State on the Glenn L. Jackson Memorial Bridge. Known as the East Portland Freeway in Oregon, I-205 continues south through the eastern neighborhoods of Portland in Multnomah County.
Crossing into Clackamas County ahead of Johnson Creek Boulevard / Exit 16, I-205 services the Portland suburbs of Clackamas, Gladstone, Oregon City, and West Linn. Interstate 205 angles west at the town of Willamette for its remainder to I-5 at Tualatin.
