The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reports that people traveling to, through and around Seattle should plan for two upcoming weekend-long closures of the I-5 express lanes. Crews working on the Revive I-5: Ship Canal Bridge Preservation project will use the closures to access the underside of the bridge for drainage improvements.
The I-5 express lanes have only been open northbound during construction. The Washington State Department of Transportation has scheduled two weekend-long full closures of the express lanes for this work:
- 11:00 p.m. Friday, September 11, to 5:00 a.m. Monday, September 14.
- 11:00 p.m. Friday, October 2, to 5:00 a.m. Monday, October 5.
Crews need to complete this work before the fall rains arrive. Planning the express lane closures for two weekends provides crews the uninterrupted time they need to get the work done.
